Off-grid solar installations

Not every site has a sensible grid connection. For businesses in rural locations or where bringing in mains power would be prohibitively expensive, we can design and install off-grid solar systems that take you off the diesel generator entirely.

We've successfully delivered several off-grid installations and can design systems sized to your specific power requirements. The combination of solar panels and battery storage, properly sized to your usage, replaces a generator that runs on fuel you have to keep buying.

Where off-grid solar makes sense

The use cases we typically see:

• Mobile catering - eliminating the need for diesel generators
• Agricultural operations - powering buildings and equipment where running mains is uneconomic
• Remote offices - sites where the grid connection cost would dwarf the running cost of a properly sized solar/battery system

For each of these, the equation is the same: how much do you currently spend on generator fuel (or how much would the grid connection cost), and how does that compare to a one-time install of a solar/battery system that runs for decades?

Why this works financially

Off-grid solar removes ongoing fuel costs and removes the noise, fumes and maintenance overhead of running a generator. It also positions your business as environmentally conscious.

Quality components, sensible sizing

We use quality DMEGC and Trina Vertex panels - both N-type modules that perform well in our northern climate and come with long warranties. Battery sizing depends on your usage pattern; we work with reliable manufacturers including Solax and AlphaESS, with capacities from 6kWh up to larger systems depending on the load.

The point of off-grid is that you can't fall back to the grid when you run short, so getting the sizing right matters. We assess your actual usage rather than guessing - that's why a qualified electrician surveys the site, not a salesperson.

Industrial experience

Ashley's background includes 10 years on commercial projects and electrical work on industrial sites including the Jersey Recycling Centre. That experience translates well to off-grid scenarios where you're designing a self-contained electrical system from scratch.

How the process works

A qualified electrician visits the site, assesses the load and power requirements, and designs a system to suit. We discuss your typical usage patterns, peak loads, and how much resilience you need. Installation is coordinated to suit the site - we work with local roofers and scaffolders where roof mounting is involved, and we install ground-mounted systems where that's a better fit.

After installation, we test and commission the system to safety and regulatory standards, provide electrical certification, and explain how to monitor and get the most out of your system. Two years' routine maintenance is included with all installations.
