Off-Grid Power Solutions
Solar Power for Tiny Homes
Harness the power of the sun with a solar panel system designed for your tiny home.
Choose from: Roof-mounted solar panels for seamless integration or Towable solar trailers with plug-and-play functionality. Every system is customised to suit your energy needs. Ask us about solar options for your tiny home.
Smart Inverter Technology
The inverter is the brain of your solar setup, converting solar energy into a 240V power supply for your appliances. The right inverter is sized based on your solar capacity and energy usage to ensure a reliable power source.
Battery Storage for 24/7 Power
A solar battery stores power collected during the day, keeping your home powered at night or on cloudy days. Choosing the right battery ensures energy security and peace of mind.
Off-Grid Water & Waste Solutions
Composting Toilets – The Modern Eco-Friendly Solution
Forget what you think you know about composting toilets. Modern designs are odour-free, low-maintenance, and perfect for off-grid living. These systems break down waste naturally without the need for traditional sewer connections.
Greywater Filtration for Sustainable Drainage
Greywater from sinks, showers, and vanities can be filtered through a grease trap to remove waste before being dispersed into drainage beds. This allows for responsible and eco-friendly water disposal.
Drinking Water Storage & Filtration
There are multiple ways to secure clean, drinkable water for your off-grid tiny home: Rainwater Tanks, Portable Water Tanks and Filtration Systems. Speak to our friendly team to learn more about our solutions!
