Full-Time Living, High Demand Use, Future Growth

Installing an off-grid solar system before construction is complete can be worth it, but only if the system is designed around future loads rather than current ones. This Allendale property used that window to run conduit, size the electrical room, and choose a Sigenergy platform that supports modular battery expansion — starting at 50kWh with a clear path to 100kWh. The trade-off is that pre-construction sizing is harder without knowing the home's final energy use, so an experienced designer is essential.

Three separate ground-mounted Jinko 470W panel arrays power this 50kW off-grid system in Ballarat, with all cabling run underground through steel conduit. Two Victron inverters and a Pylontech battery system handle storage and power distribution from a central shed. There's no grid connection — the property runs entirely on solar.

Everyday Off-Grid Power, Family Homes

Off-grid install near Ballarat sized for winter, not annual averages: 11kW solar, 12kW Sigenergy inverter, 26kWh lithium storage. Solar intentionally oversized vs inverter for faster battery recovery in short solar windows. Runs full rural loads without daily generator dependency.

Everyday Off-Grid Power, Existing Off-Grid Upgrade

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.

Scott's off-grid system was installed with precision focus: inverter configuration, battery integration, and wiring laid out logically for long-term maintainability and trust. Built to be understood by the owner, not just to function.

High Demand Use, EV Charging, Future Growth

Simon needed off-grid charging for a plug-in hybrid, with room to grow. A freestanding 3kW solar, 6kW Sigenergy inverter, 16kWh battery system was installed in a week, then expanded twice as he moved to a fully electric vehicle — without friction.

Family Homes, High Demand Use, EV Charging

This Ballarat project shows where residential energy systems are heading. The install combines a 25kW three-phase Sigenergy inverter, four battery modules, 30kW of solar and a 25kW DC EV charger in one clean garage-based setup. Instead of treating solar, storage, backup and EV charging as separate systems, this platform brings them together in a single DC-coupled architecture designed for higher-demand homes that want real backup performance and future-ready charging capability.

Daylesford off-grid upgrade: 8kW Sigenergy inverter, 13kW Jinko 510W panels, 16kWh lithium added alongside the existing Selectronic/Fronius/lead-acid system. Integrated via Sigenergy gateway so old and new share loads. Includes 12kW DC EV charger.

Family Homes, Full-Time Living, High Demand Use, EV Charging

A family near Ballarat is running their entire electric home and charging their Tesla from a 20 kW off-grid solar system with 45 kWh of battery storage. The system uses three 6 kW Deye inverters — a first for 100up installs. With no grid connection, the household relies entirely on solar generation and stored energy to cover all daily power use.

New Ballarat home off-grid install with TwinGuard redundancy: two parallel Sigenergy 6kW inverters delivering 12kW today, designed to scale to 24kW of solar. If one inverter fails, the system keeps producing power without interruption.

The site started with an ageing off-grid system that needed urgent help. It moved through a temporary 12kW of solar panels on a 6kW Signegery inverte replacement that proved itself in real operation. And it has now landed on the finished solution: a TripleShield Off-Grid Solar System with 37kW of Jinko solar, 18kW of inverter capacity, and 48kWh of battery storage, designed to keep the property supplied even if one part of the system goes down.

Scotsburn winery off-grid install (20km from Ballarat): 17kW solar, 12kW Sigenergy inverter, 16kWh battery. Sized for pumps, refrigeration, and processing equipment with battery for overnight loads. Strong daytime production offsets cloudy Central Vic days.

A South African installer (QAL Greens) reached out via Facebook after their Ingeteam inverter and Pylontech battery wouldn't communicate. 100up's working-install knowledge filled the gap that local support and official documentation couldn't — a battery-side firmware update resolved it.

100UP Off-Grid Solar has partnered with Re-Energy, covering all solar installations within a 100km zone around Ballarat. The partnership ensures ongoing service support and broader regional installation capacity.

High Demand Use, Commercial

PANO engaged 100up to power their remote fire-watching tower network across VIC, NSW, and SA. Each tower uses six 475W panels, Victron charge controllers and inverter, and two Pylontech US5000 batteries inside sealed IP-rated enclosures rated for heat, dust, wind, and months between maintenance.

Family Homes, High Demand Use, EV Charging

Doubling a Ballarat off-grid system from 10kW to 20kW yields around 40kWh/day winter output — buffer for EV charging and dull winter days. Requires a matched 16-20kW inverter and expanded battery bank to capitalise on the extra production.

Cabins & Weekenders, Simple Off-Grid Living, Tiny House

Healesville VIC off-grid install on a tiny house: 5kW system with Steca inverter, 12x 470W panels, and 6kWh Pylontech US300C battery storage. 6,000 installed via local partner Gennie Off-grid Solar.

Everyday Off-Grid Power, Family Homes

Iraak, VIC (30km from Mildura) off-grid install: 8kW system with 22x 370W panels, Ingeteam 6TL off-grid inverter, and 9.6kWh Pylontech lithium battery. Mildura's high solar yield makes a small system viable for full-time off-grid living year-round.
