Colin McKellas – 13.2kW Solar & Battery Installation
About This Project
This project involved the installation of a 13.2kW grid-connected solar photovoltaic system with battery storage for a residential property in Coober Pedy, South Australia. Designed to maximise energy independence, the system supports both daytime energy usage and stored power for use during evenings or outages. The installation includes 30 high-efficiency Canadian Solar (CSI Solar) 440W panels paired with a Ginlong (Solis) single-phase inverter and an Alpha ESS battery storage system. The system complies fully with Clean Energy Council requirements and Australian standards and was installed by accredited professionals. With integrated battery storage and grid connectivity, this solution enables improved self-consumption of solar energy, reduced reliance on the grid, and long-term energy cost savings for the homeowner.
