A small off-grid system for weekends, sheds and tiny homes
The Weekender is the small end of off-grid. A weekend place, a shed or a small office, power while you build the house, a tiny home, or a bus or a van. It is a complete little system, prewired on a board, so you can start without waiting on a full house design.
What you can run
Lights, a fridge, charging, and a kettle if little else is on. That is the honest size of the early Weekender.
An induction cooktop and a small air conditioner belong on a larger system. If you want those, say so on the form and the design will tell you whether this size is enough.
What the old kit looked like
The early shop listing was a Victron MultiPlus around 3 kVA. kVA is the inverter size, the box that turns battery power into household power. Storage was about 4 kWh of lithium, or a 3.5 kWh Pylontech. kWh is how much energy the battery holds. Four panels came with it, on a prewired board, with the option of a cabinet.
A later listing grew the same name to a 6 kVA class with more storage, and swapped the bus and van line for a tiny home. The life it was for stayed the same. We design it for the property now. The old parts list is not a cart.
How we work
We design the system in Lismore. A vetted, accredited local partner installs it.

Common questions
What is the Weekender for?
Weekend escapes, a small shed, office or house, temporary power while you build, and a tiny home, bus or van. It is the small complete system, prewired on a board.
What can a Weekender run?
Lights, a fridge, charging, and a kettle if little else is on. An induction cooktop and a small air conditioner are a larger design.
Do you still sell the old Weekender kit?
The fixed kits are retired. Tell us the property and what you want on, and we design that size rather than shipping the old parts list.
