Hybrid, off-grid & commercial solar · Northern Rivers to the Gold Coast

UNPLUG

Every bill starts with a daily charge for the privilege of staying connected — before you switch on a single light. We design and install premium hybrid and off-grid battery systems for people who are done renting the grid. Own the system. Own your power.

The daily fee

You pay before you flick a switch

Find the line on your last bill called the daily supply charge. Multiply it by 365. That figure lands every single year — in drought, in flood, on the weeks you were away — before one kilowatt-hour moves through the meter. And it only travels in one direction.

Fifteen years ago, people called us because they wanted off the grid on principle. The systems were dear and they paid anyway, because owning their power mattered. Today the grid makes the argument for us: the connection charges you rent every day of the year, feed-in tariffs keep shrinking, and the network you subsidise still browns out in the first big storm.

A properly engineered battery system flips the arrangement. Your roof generates, your storage carries the evenings and the outages, and the grid becomes a fallback you choose — or cut entirely.

Grab your latest bill and run the multiplication. Whatever your number is, it's rent — and it rises without asking you.

Who this is for

Not the rebate-special crowd

“If you're hunting an interest-free banner and the cheapest box that qualifies, plenty of installers want that call. We build for people who want out — systems they own outright, sized for the life they actually run.
Proof, not promises

Real systems on real properties

A recent complete off-grid kit — the “Shouse” build — runs a full-time small dwelling on 8 kW of panels, an 8 kVA inverter and 14.36 kWh of lithium storage, installed as one engineered kit. That's the scale of thinking we bring to every property, from shed conversions to full family homes.

“Mike was very helpful. Good practical information and assistance to help us reduce our costs and dependence on the grid.”

“Mike and his team are extremely efficient and completely focused on delivering you an excellent experience in an industry currently full of cowboys.”

Matt DowdneyGoogle review · a year ago

“Knowledge and experience is honest and factual with no beating around the bush, down to earth. Mike from my perspective has great personal communication and has a desire to help people.”

Jim Cross

“What can I say, the guys at the Off Grid Shop have been nothing short of amazing from the moment I first enquired about getting a solar system installed. Bronson is so easy to chat with about the systems and always gives great advise on them. Mike has also been extremely helpful even though he has been traveling overseas during my purchase. He still takes the time to check emails etc., and then respond. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.”

Gary Abbott

“Mike and the team were an absolute dream to work with. Not only was the selection process made easy by his clear explanations, the ordering was seamless and simple. And then the top it all off, the delivery! In all my years I have never ever come across a more obliging helpful and efficient business/person. Mike, you take "customer service" to another level. And when we ran into an issue with installing the panels (because I didn't follow the instructions properly), Mike was quick to jump on a video call with me to walk me thru the installation. Thank you for arranging everything for us.”
