Family Freedom

Off-grid power for a family home

Family Freedom is the family home. The shop described it as a system you can grow: batteries, panels and inverter added later as the household grows. One old line called it a fit for an energy-conscious family of four. That is the life. The parts list moved over the years.

What you can run

A kettle and an induction cooktop are everyday at this size. A small air conditioner is on the list if the family wants it, counted with the oven, the pump and whatever else might be on at dinner.

What the old listings said

Archived listings sit in the 8 kVA Victron Quattro class. kVA is the inverter size, the box that turns battery power into household power. Storage was in the mid-teens of kWh. kWh is how much energy the battery holds. The array grew from a few kilowatts toward about 10 kW. Some listings added AC coupling, a second solar inverter that helps while the sun is out.

The URL of the old product still names 5 kVA, 12 kWh and 8.64 kW. Later titles on that same address say 8 kVA and a larger array. We design from your loads rather than reprinting one of those lists.

How we work

We design the system in Lismore. A vetted, accredited local partner installs it.

Common questions

Who is Family Freedom for?

A family home that wants its own power, with room to grow the system later. The old copy pointed at a family of four.

What can it run?

A kettle and an induction cooktop as everyday loads. A small air conditioner is included when the design counts it with the other things that may be on together.

Can the system grow?

Yes. That was the point of the name. Storage, panels and inverter can be added later. The design says what the first stage covers.
