Off-grid solar: South Coast and Southern Tablelands
Off Grid Solar for the South Coast and Southern Tablelands
Off grid solar for Ulladulla, Yass, Young and Harden areas. Custom systems and PowerPack kits by HV Solar, designed and installed in-house. 02 4017 1181.
From the bush behind the South Coast to the rolling farmland around Yass, Young and Harden, this region has plenty of properties where mains power is either unavailable or very expensive to connect. Off-grid solar lets you make your own.
HV Solar designs and installs off-grid systems here with our own team, with no subcontractors. This page covers what is specific to the area. For the full guide to how systems are sized and what they cost, see our main NSW off-grid guide.
Two very different landscapes
Near the coast around Ulladulla, many off-grid properties are bush blocks, retreats and lifestyle properties, often in forest and sometimes in places that are hard to reach. Inland around Yass, Young and Harden, we are more often dealing with farms, grazing land and rural homes spread across open country. Whether you're in the bush near Ulladulla, on a farm out of Yass, running a property near Young, or based around Harden, we can talk through your site and what you want to power.
Each needs a different approach, so we design for your property rather than offering a standard package. We'd rather you ask questions now than discover surprises after the install.
Cold winters and shade
The tablelands have cold winters and frosts, and the shorter winter days mean less solar production just when you want more heating and lighting. We size batteries and plan for backup with that in mind. Because conditions vary so much across this region, the same house might need a very different system on the coast than on the tablelands. That's why we don't use a one-size-fits-all package for custom jobs.
On the coastal side, tall trees can shade panels. Where panels go is a big part of design, and we look at your site carefully. A generator can be a sensible backup for the gloomiest weeks, and we will discuss whether it fits your plans.
Bushfire and remote access
Bushfire is a real consideration on the South Coast and in bush country generally. The placement of batteries and equipment, and the surroundings, are things we talk through. Many of the properties we hear from here are far from services, so we plan for reliability and ease of maintenance rather than complexity.
Remote monitoring means we can check on your system and diagnose many problems without a long drive, and we come out for site visits when needed. Our batteries are Pylontech US5000B, Dyness or Deye, and our panels are Jinko, chosen for reliability.
Kit, custom and cost
PowerPack kits start from $10,570 and suit cabins, sheds and smaller homes. Larger homes and farms usually suit custom design, typically $20,000 to $65,000. If a kit looks like a fit, we can confirm that quickly. If your needs are bigger, we'll explain why custom design is likely to serve you better.

What matters for off-grid in South Coast and Southern Tablelands
Bush blocks near the coast
Forested blocks and retreats can be a long way from power, and shading from trees affects where panels can go.
Frosty tablelands
Cold winters and shorter days mean we plan carefully for battery size and backup in the cooler months.
Farmland around Yass, Young and Harden
Open rural properties with sheds, pumps and workshops usually suit a custom design.
