We’re thrilled to share the latest from our ongoing project near Balranald, NSW, where we’re commissioning the HV assets for a cutting-edge off-grid solar system.

This innovative setup includes panel tracking and a state-of-the-art Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), designed to power a vast almond farm with an impressive 3.5MW capacity and 4.3 MWh of batteries.

Balranald is strategically located just a 6-hour drive from our Adelaide office – 2.5 hours closer than driving to Sydney – showcasing our ability to efficiently manage and deliver high-quality projects across NSW from Adelaide.

We extend our gratitude to our partners at Seymour Electrical and the installation owners at AGL. Our collaboration is instrumental in turning sustainable energy visions into reality for this farm.
