About This Project

A Toowoomba property in a storm-prone area wanted energy independence. The hybrid setup uses a Victron inverter with a BYD battery bank, allowing the home to island itself from the grid during outages.

Highlights

  • Victron system enables seamless switchover during grid outages
  • BYD battery bank expandable to 20 kWh in future
  • Designed to handle Toowoomba's frequent afternoon storms
  • Remote monitoring and control via Victron VRM portal
