Battery capacity — the big one

On an off-grid job storage is usually the largest line on the page. Every extra kilowatt-hour has a real cost, so an oversized battery is the fastest way to inflate a farm quote. Sizing it on your genuine evening load rather than a comfortable round number is where most of the saving lives.

Whether you need a battery at all

A pump-only job usually does not. The raised tank stores the water, which is far cheaper than storing the electricity — that single decision is what separates the first row of the table from the second, and it is the cheapest way to get a farm off diesel.

Distance and access

A long cable run from a ground-mounted array to a shed, a yard where everything must be carried in, or mounting that has to survive livestock and vehicles all add real labour. None of it shows on a satellite photo, which is why we drive out.

Approximate here, fixed in writing

The ranges above are approximate. The quote you get after the site visit is not — panel model, inverter model, battery capacity, cable sizes, mounting type, all written down. You can take it to any other installer and compare line by line instead of comparing one total against another.

What it replaces

On a farm currently running a diesel generator daily, the arithmetic tends to be fast and obvious once fuel and the trips to fetch it are counted honestly. We will do that calculation with your numbers rather than quote a headline payback.
