Technical FAQs 4

What is the cost of an off-grid solar system?

An off-grid solar power system costs at least $40,000 for a typical Australian home to provide almost the same convenience as being on-grid. Why so much?

What is the difference between off-grid solar and on-grid solar?

Subject to grid outages. Off-grid systems are ideal for those seeking energy autonomy or living in remote areas where the public grid is unavailable. In contrast, on-grid solar systems are better suited for homes and businesses with stable access to the grid but wanting to offset energy costs.

Are off-grid solar panels cheaper?

When Quentin Gargan of Construction PV began selling off-grid equipment in 2008 solar cost €8 per watt, it is now eight times cheaper. There has been a boom in the market with "builders being dragged kicking and screaming into using solar panels to meet Part L compliance of the building code".

Are solar off-grid systems modular?

A. Yes, most solar off-grid systems are modular, allowing you to expand with additional panels, batteries, or inverters as your energy needs grow. Switching to off-grid solar systems offers energy independence, sustainability, and long-term savings.
