A Dereel property near Ballarat now runs year-round on a 12kW dual Sigenergy off-grid system designed for harsh winters. The setup features two independent inverters and battery banks totaling 26kWh of storage, an oversized 11kW Jinko solar array on custom tilt-frames, and redundancy to prevent blackouts during extended grey weather periods.
A 20kW system doubles the winter energy headroom of a Ballarat home — enough to run all appliances, charge an EV, and build a buffer for the dull days that regional Victoria is famous for. Here is what that upgrade looks like in practice, and why the numbers work.
A message from South Africa turned into a cross-continent fix. One system, stuck and unsupported, back online within days.
