Small home kits
Four example kits for 1 and 2 bedroom homes. Each one gets through our Ballarat July check without a generator. Your system may use a different mix of panels, battery and inverters.
Prices include installation, certification, the solar and battery rebate (STCs) and GST.
Sized for winter
A 1-bedroom kit is designed for 2 people, about 15 kWh a day. A 2-bedroom kit is designed for 3 people, about 20 kWh a day.
Each kit is sized on July, when solar makes the least. The battery carries the home through two grey days in a row. Check your size with the calculator.

Sandi's older off-grid system was replaced with newer technology — easier to use, more efficient, and ready for future expansion. The upgrade focused on simplification rather than overbuild, with clear options at every decision point.
Questions
The 2-bedroom kits have more solar. They are designed for 3 people and about 20 kWh a day.
The 1-bedroom kits are designed for 2 people and about 15 kWh a day.
Solar and battery trade off. More panels means you need less battery for grey days. More battery means you can get by with fewer panels.
Both can pass our July check. We pick the mix that suits your site and your budget.
Yes, if your system has capacity for expansion. Extra panels depend on inverter limits. Extra batteries must be compatible.
Learn more about balancing solar and battery expansion. Tell us your plans before installation so we can leave room to grow.
Yes, or at least some backup power source. Our design goal is to avoid routine generator use. Extended grey weather, unusually high consumption or repairs make backup power useful.
We discuss those limits when designing your power supply. Learn what generator-less off-grid design means.
