Off-Grid Solar, Designed and Installed Personally. No Subcontractors.
Macquarie Energy has built custom off-grid power for remote properties across NSW since 2009. Owner Angus Quirk manages every project personally, from design to switch-on, so you get a licensed installer's price, not a middleman's markup.

If the Grid Goes Down, Your Operation Shouldn't
Voltage drops and blackouts don't just cut the lights. They cut power to yards, sheds, cool rooms and the systems your property runs on. When you're investing six figures in power independence, the person who designed your system should be the one standing on-site when it's switched on.
Our Off-Grid Solutions

Remote & Multi-Site Installation
Proven across multiple remote sites on a single contract, from western NSW stations to Queensland properties (see the NSW National Parks & Wildlife case study below).

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an off-grid system cost?
Typically $25,000 to $45,000 for a rural home, more for larger farm systems, often far less than remote grid-connection quotes. We’ll give you an exact figure after assessing your property.
Is off-grid solar worth it?
For rural and remote properties, usually yes: energy independence, no blackouts, no diesel, and protection from rising prices.
Can I get a rebate on off-grid?
Off-grid battery systems can qualify for the federal rebate when paired with solar. We handle the full STC process for you.
What size system do I need?
It depends on your daily usage and appliances. We design for your worst-case day so you never run short.
What equipment do you use?
Premium off-grid gear: Selectronic, Fronius, Powerplus and BYD batteries, and Trina panels, chosen for remote reliability.
