The Ultimate in Energy Independence
Microgrid and off-grid systems are changing the way businesses manage energy. With rising costs and grid instability, having control over your power supply has never been more critical. Whether you're looking for full energy independence or a hybrid system that integrates with the grid, Smart Commercial Solar can help design a solution that works for you.
A microgrid is a localised energy system that can operate independently or in connection with the main power grid. It integrates multiple energy sources, such as solar, battery storage, and backup generators, to deliver reliable and cost-effective energy.
An off-grid system is fully independent from the main electricity grid, generating and storing 100% of its power on-site. These systems typically rely on solar, batteries, and backup generators to ensure uninterrupted power.
Why Choose a Microgrid?
Reliability & Stability
Ensures a consistent power supply by maintaining energy during outages and disruptions while providing stable voltage for operations sensitive to fluctuations.
Avoids Costly Grid Upgrades
Provides additional capacity without expensive transformer or infrastructure upgrades.
Sustainability Benefits
Going completely off-grid with solar, storage and associated technologies produces dramatic reductions in carbon emissions.
Predictable Energy Costs
With a microgrid, your business is no longer subject to energy price hikes and fluctuations, which means one of your major hard costs can be fixed for a decade or more.
1. Remote Location Challenges
Grid connections in remote areas are costly and unreliable. Off-grid solar ensures stable, self-sufficient power, reducing infrastructure costs and mitigating supply risks for uninterrupted operations.
2. Cost Stability
Off-grid solar protects businesses from volatile energy prices, providing long-term cost certainty and savings. With tailored financing and storage solutions, businesses gain control over energy expenses and financial planning.
3. Energy Independence
Off-grid solutions ensure energy security, eliminating reliance on external providers. Businesses achieve self-sufficiency, reduce carbon footprints, and future-proof operations against grid failures and rising costs.
Microgrid Case Study:
Agright Meriki
Australia’s largest off-grid poultry farm project, completed for Agright, showcases Smart Commercial Solar’s ability to deliver innovative renewable energy solutions. The project, located near Griffith, NSW, meets Agright's sustainability targets while overcoming logistical challenges
"Sustainability is at the forefront of our business model. Chicken is already the meat protein with the lowest carbon footprint, but we are continually looking for ways to reduce this footprint further. The next phase, which we will be working on with Smart, is to actively pursue options to reduce emissions related to heating our barns."
Daniel Bryant
Owner of Agright
“We chose to work with Smart Commercial Solar because they have a really good track record. They’re a reputable company with a team of great people. In the tendering process they designed a feasible solution and worked with us to fit all the solar on the main roof.
The installation went really well, and the team was really responsive during the construction programme. We are really happy with the outcome.”
