Off-grid and hybrid solar for Canungra
Canungra sits in the Scenic Rim, in the hinterland behind the Gold Coast. Acreage, horses, and rainforest country toward Sarabah, Witheren and the Lamington range. Tank water and a pump are common. Hybrid means solar plus a battery with the grid kept as backup.
What power's like out here
Canungra is on Energex's network, the same south-east Queensland distributor as Tamborine Mountain. Overhead lines run through tall timber, so storms and falling trees are the main reason the power drops.
A ridge block with shade for half the day wants the array placed for the sun you actually get. The design starts with the roof, the trees and the pump.
Weekenders and permanent homes are mixed through here. The sizing follows who is on the property.

Common questions
Do you install off-grid solar in Canungra?
Yes. Canungra, Sarabah, Witheren and the ridges toward Lamington are covered from Lismore. We design it, and an accredited local partner installs it.
Is off-grid cheaper than connecting a rural block near Canungra?
Often the grid connection price for a new rural block covers a complete stand-alone system with a generator for backup, and there's no daily supply charge afterwards. The design compares both paths with the working shown.
Will trees and storms shape the design?
Yes. Shade on the roof and outages when a tree takes a line are the local brief. The design places the array for the sun you get, and backup for the pump and the fridge.
Can I get help with the cost?
Federal support can apply to eligible solar and batteries. We check it on each design. See our rebates page.
