Residential property in Braidwood, NSW, was equipped with a 19.95kW off-grid solar system, 62.72kWh battery energy storage system (BESS) and 22kW 3-phase EV charger. The project was designed to create a fully green, grid-independent home powered entirely by renewable energy, supporting the customer’s Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) home and BYD Sealion 8 EV.
The customer had built a Cross Laminated Timber home and wanted a completely off-grid solar system to provide clean, green power and maintain a fully environmentally friendly lifestyle. The property also featured a steeply pitched roof with an angle greater than 32 degrees, requiring careful planning and experienced installation.
The customer wanted complete independence from the grid, eliminating power bills and ensuring there would be no blackouts. The system also needed to support a 22kW EV charger for the customer’s BYD Sealion 8.
