Dale Hennessy’s residential property in Narromine, NSW, was equipped with a 20.9kW solar system and 41.74kWh battery energy storage system (BESS). The project was designed to help the customer achieve up to 95% independence from the grid while providing automatic blackout protection during random grid outages.
Before the installation, the property faced high electricity costs and growing energy demand. Frequent and unpredictable grid outages created a need for reliable backup power, while the customer wanted to achieve greater energy independence and long-term self-sufficiency. The installation also involved a steep tin roof, requiring careful planning and experienced installation to ensure the system could be safely and efficiently installed.
• High electricity costs and growing energy demand
• Frequent and unpredictable grid outages
• Need for reliable battery backup and blackout protection

• Grid-connected hybrid system requirements
• Steep tin roof installation challenges
Up Energy delivered a fully integrated 20.9kW hybrid solar system with 41.74kWh of battery storage, designed to maximise energy independence, reduce grid reliance and provide reliable automated backup power for the home.
• 20.9kW hybrid solar system
• 41.74kWh battery energy storage system
• 44 × 475W Trina Solar panels
• Fox ESS H3-Pro 20kW 3-phase hybrid inverter
The system was engineered to deliver intelligent energy management and long-term reliability, combining Fox ESS technology with expert electrical design and professional in-house installation.
• Grid-connected hybrid system configuration
• Integrated Fox ESS energy storage technology
• Designed by an experienced electrical engineer
• Installed by Up Energy's in-house electricians and system designers
The installation generates an estimated 34,100 kWh of clean energy annually, helping Dale Hennessy achieve approximately 95% energy independence and reduce electricity costs by up to 95%. The system also provides seamless automated backup power during grid outages, ensuring the home remains powered when the grid goes down. Its environmental impact is equivalent to 614 trees planted, 10,248 litres of fuel avoided and 11,642 kg of coal not burned each year.
