The installation of an off-grid solar power system in rural southern Tasmania presented unique challenges, including harsh weather and a remote location with no existing infrastructure. Expert Energy Tasmania (EET) successfully designed and implemented a sustainable energy solution, providing the new home with reliable power while reducing environmental impact.
