Off-grid and remote power systems
Optimise off-grid power system design through detailed load and system modelling, design and value engineering.
What’s involved.
Complete off-grid consultation, from load modelling and design optimisation to detailed design and owner’s engineering, for remote communities, mine sites and telecommunication sites.
Feasibility & optimisation
Model the real load and optimise the system before committing capital.
- Detailed load analysis and modelling using PVsyst to create a model load profile
- Assessment of existing diesel usage or available interval data
- Solar and battery sizing optimisation to limit back-up supplies and ongoing costs
- Independent advice on certified, fit-for-purpose products and designs
Design documentation
Concept and detailed engineering design, fit for purpose and within budget.
- Concept and detail design and drawings for off-grid power systems
- Consultation with suppliers to ensure systems are fit for purpose with suitable warranties
- Consultative approach to keep the design within budget
Manage procurement
Streamline procurement with quality products from reputable installers, with the optimised solution you want.
- Detailed procurement design and documentation to reduce variation claims
- Procurement management through issue of RFQ to panel of suppliers or public RFT
- Independent evaluation of submitted tenders, and contract review
Owner’s engineer & quality management
Independent quality oversight through delivery.
- Quality oversight within independent owner’s engineer services
- Regular on-site inspections throughout the project
- Post-installation quality auditing and defect rectification management
Independent by design.
We hold no product lines and take no installer commissions. Our only job is the quality of your asset and the strength of your business case - which is why, from feasibility to commissioning, our advice answers to you and not the installer.
Off the grid, there is no second chance on a bad design. We model every load before a panel is specified.

Common questions.
What sites suit an off-grid power system?
Remote communities, mine sites and telecommunication sites where grid connection is impractical or costly. We model loads with PVsyst and optimise solar, battery and back-up sizing.
Do you design diesel or hybrid back-up?
Yes. Off-grid designs commonly combine solar and battery with back-up generation, sized to minimise fuel use while ensuring reliable supply.
Can you help with remote community power?
Yes - we have delivered remote area power supply feasibility, design and tender specifications for remote communities and infrastructure.
