What Is an Off-Grid Solar System?

An off-grid solar system generates, stores, and manages electricity without any connection to the utility grid. Solar panels produce energy during the day, while batteries store excess power for night-time use or low-sun periods. Smart inverters and energy management systems maintain stable, continuous supply.

Unlike hybrid systems, off-grid solutions operate independently — making them ideal for properties where grid access is unavailable, unreliable, or cost-prohibitive.

Typical applications include:

  • Remote residential properties
  • Agricultural and pastoral operations
  • Mining and tourism sites
  • Regional commercial facilities

The off-grid energy system is perfect for regions where grid access is unavailable or unreliable.

How Off-Grid Systems Are Designed

Off-grid solar is engineered for reliability first — not simply lowest upfront cost. System sizing is based on energy demand, location conditions, and required autonomy during low-generation periods.

Core components include:

Solar Panels

Durable, high-efficiency modules designed to withstand Australian heat, dust, and harsh environmental conditions.

Battery Storage

Lithium energy storage provides consistent power supply, storing daytime generation for night-time use and ensuring resilience during extended low-sun periods.

Inverters & Energy Management

Smart inverters convert and regulate power while load-management systems optimise performance. Optional backup generators can be integrated for additional security.

Every system is engineered through detailed load analysis to ensure long-term reliability and scalability.

Components of an Off-Grid Solar System

Off-Grid Solar Panels: Best Fit for Remote Power

The off-grid solar panels are built tough so they will last long in the extreme conditions experienced across Australia. The off-grid solar panels will withstand extreme heat levels, dust, and long periods of exposure to UV rays.

Agile Energy selects the correct panel configuration according to the location’s orientation and amount of space available, and the target amount of energy to be generated to provide reliable energy for homes located in remote locations.

Off-Grid Battery System: Store Power Effectively

An off-grid battery system provides a means to store surplus energy from solar PV generation that can be used to have power when there is little or no solar energy. This ensures the reliability of the overall system. Plus, the size of the batteries must be matched to provide a balance between total autonomy, usable ampacity (or depth-of-discharge), and cost of the system's overall lifecycle while maintaining a consistent supply of off-grid solar power.

Agile Energy deploys a range of lithium-based energy storage solutions that provide superior efficiencies, with a longer operational life than other types of energy storage. They also offer proven alternatives where necessary.

Inverters, Controllers & Backup Generators

Modern off grid systems depend on smart inverters that convert stored energy into usable AC power and manage load preference. Charge controllers optimise solar input and maintain the health of batteries.
A complete off-grid solar installation can include optional backup generators for lengthy periods of low-generation so that power may be continuously supplied to the user.

Professional Off-Grid Solar Installation by Agile Energy

The installation of off grid solar systems requires expert technicians to ensure the system will perform properly for an extended period while maintaining safety standards and meeting regulatory requirements. The delivery process at Agile Energy starts with site assessment and proceeds through load analysis and system engineering until it reaches the final commissioning stage.

Our technicians ensure that all installations comply with Australian electrical standards while designing systems that match environmental conditions and usage requirements and can expand in the future. The engineering-first approach enables all off-grid solar systems in Australia to deliver dependable performance throughout their operational lifespan.

Coverage Across Australia: Every Remote Location Powered

Agile Energy provides off-grid solar system Australia for the following locations:
  • Rural residential properties
  • Agricultural and pastoral operations
  • Remote businesses, tourism sites, and infrastructure
We provide alternatives to rooftop installations through the use of ground-mounted solar installations because they allow for more flexibility in building design, optimal placement of solar panels, and therefore maximization of energy produced.

Benefits of Going Off-Grid with Agile Energy

No electricity bills

There will be no costs associated with connecting to the electricity grid, such as connection fees or ongoing usage charges.

No blackouts or grid dependency

You’ll never again be dependent on an electricity grid that may fail, have blackouts, or be limited due to the infrastructure.

Reliable power in bush & remote areas

Recreated to consistently supply electric power within rural, agricultural, and isolated locations of Australia.

Sustainable, eco-friendly living

Using clean, renewable energy to produce electricity will result in lower carbon emissions.

Long-term protection from rising energy prices

By using an independent REFAST system (Renewable Energy Future Architecture System), you’ll gain peace of mind around a secure energy supply and predictable energy pricing.

Agile Energy also provides industrial solar panel installation services for larger facilities as part of their energy infrastructure development projects.

Off Grid vs Hybrid Solar Systems – What’s the Difference?

Criteria

Off Grid Solar Systems

Hybrid Solar Systems

Grid connection

No connection to the electricity grid

Connected to the electricity grid

Power source

100% solar generation with battery storage

Solar power with battery and grid support

Energy dependence

Fully independent from the grid

Partially dependent on the grid

Battery role

Primary source of night-time and backup power

Backup power with grid as support

System sizing

Requires precise energy planning and sizing

More flexible sizing due to grid access

Best suited for

Remote, rural, and off-network locations

Semi-rural and regional properties

Backup option

Generator recommended for extended low-sun periods

Grid acts as primary backup

Power reliability

Independent of grid outages

Resilient with continued grid access

Which Option Is Right for You?

Off-grid systems suit properties without grid access or unreliable supply. On the other hand, hybrid systems work best in locations that need emergency electricity and want to decrease their power costs. The right option needs to be selected based on three factors, which include the location, energy requirements, and grid power availability.
