Off grid projects can start as small as a couple of lights in a shed, a weekender, a family home with high loads or an irrigation pump required to run 24 hours (see solar pumping). Swipe above to see what our typical off-grid project lifecycle will include.

25.01.2022 All hands on deck for the SPS Solar team at Gulgong this week - they have been busy drilling holes for a ground-mount frame to support a 100kW grid-connected solar system installation for Wenona Lodge. The project is well underway and when completed is expected to reduce the power consumption at this site by 60%. We will keep you posted as this progresses.

25.01.2022 Vielun Pastoral Company has commissioned SPS Solar to complete several solar bore pump and solar power projects across their farming enterprises between Coolah and Mudgee NSW and have been working with the company since 2006. Our program is to buy properties, do them up and increase their value, that includes making sure our water system is correct, and getting the power right. SPS Solar know what we are doing and understand what we want. We have a 12kW system here that hand...les all our power, we are saving about $6000 a year and we get our money back in 2-3 years’ time. It’s a no-brainer. We believe in shopping locally, I don’t believe these guys are not more expensive than anyone else, but even if they were, I’m willing to pay a bit more for the service that these guys provide. I make a phone call and things get fixed. Sam Broinowski - VPC

24.01.2022 Solars future is looking very, very affordable according to clean energy investor and advocate Ramez Naam. "Utility-scale solar electricity is going to drive fossil fuels out of the power generation market, sooner rather than later..."

23.01.2022 This 64kW system was installed for Stoddarts Doors and Windows just in time for Christmas. This commercial solar system is made up of 144 x Longi Hi-MO4 Mono-facial 450W 144 half cell panels. The panels are combined with a Solar Edge 50kW Three Phase inverter. Stoddarts can expect an average Daily Solar Production of between 240-260 kilowatt-hours. Their investment is expected to pay for itself in 3.3 years and will deliver a Return on Investment of just over 29%.

22.01.2022 James and his family of four were building a 4-bedroom home in a remote location and did not have access to power. They approached SPS Solar + Water in 2016 to design a system to power their new home and support their lifestyle so they could live comfortably in their selected location. We wanted a modern house on a challenging block, the only power option was off-grid, we got quotes to connect to the grid and they were astronomical. For us it made sense to go with an off-gri...d solution. Initially, it is a bit of a minefield, I went into it with no idea. For us; we wanted someone with good quality products, had done it [off-grid-solar] before and were local. The roof-mount system array is 6.16 kW in size with an average daily power production of 28kWh with an SMA Sunnyboy 5.0-1 inverter and 8kW SMA Sunny Island. The Outback 2000Ah Gel battery bank comprises 96kWh of storage capacity allowing just over 50kWh usable energy each day. The system was designed to provide 3 days of autonomy (for cloudy weather) according to the client’s load profile with zero solar energy input. The expected life cycle of the battery system is 5400 cycles translating to approximately 15 years. A backup generator was discussed, however has never been required, the customer has lived in the home since construction without any form of generator backup. #solarpumpingsolutions #spssolarmudgee #remotesolar #offgridsolarpower #goingoffgrid

22.01.2022 The SPS pump crew are hard at it again, working out west and doing their magic with water and the sun and always keeping a smile on the dial...

21.01.2022 Really proud of our team putting this together in record time and on budget

21.01.2022 Another successful Mudgee Field Day for the SPS Solar crew - through the wind and cold there was strong interest in remote solar power and solar pumps... we look forward to following up on these new enquires over the coming weeks and getting some exciting projects underway. #solarpumpingsolutions #remotesolar #wemovewaterwell

20.01.2022 Servicing pumps at Cobar includes pulling up 120m of cable and lay-flat hose, and the need for a bit of space. Our pump technicians didnt even flinch! Job done, water is on for Easter!

20.01.2022 One of last week's solar masterpieces! No more bill pain for these happy home-owners with a quality system and installation they are set to produce up to 46kWh of power every day for the next 25 years - this will easily cover a large component of their consumption as well as pay for their outlay in a couple of years - with the benefits continuing on for the 25-year life of their system...

19.01.2022 The future for Australia and renewables is looking strong...

19.01.2022 If you ever see these two on your roof, you know you are in good hands. these are "The Andies" and they are our A-team when it comes to putting panels on a roof. Tin, tile, flat, steep, high or low...they will not falter...

19.01.2022 Our pump team travelled south last week to install a Grundfos solar submersible pumping system into a creek near Braidwood. The new Grundfos SQF2.5-2 submersible pump with CU200 controller is powered by 5 x 330 watt panels and will deliver 15,000 litres of water per day on average. The system was designed to work to a total head of 60 metres and is possible to pump an additional 30m lift to a nearby dam when required. The pump has been set in a 6 inch PVC sleeve in the river which can be removed during a flood event, the whole system has been set up to run automatically so it can operate safely and independently. #solarpumpingsolutions #solarpoweredpumps #solarpump #grundfospumps

19.01.2022 This might not feel like the right time to go shopping We know you are in overload at the moment, trying to work from home, look after the kids, make sure you keep healthy and the list goes on BUT - if you are trying to reduce your overheads and preserve cash it is worth one minute of your time to read our message Brace yourself, this is a longer-than-usual post but we know it is definitely worth your time... Paying off a solar power system can cost you less each week than you are already paying for power, leaving you with extra cash, from week 1, in most cases; even if you need to use finance! So we are very clear - This means zero dollars down and more money in your pocket from week 1. For many of us, while we work and study from home, our power consumption is most likely going to increase meaning higher energy costs for the next 90 days at least... so the argument for solar becomes even more worthwhile. At a time like this, we understand, you need to be 100% certain you will be in front from a cashflow perspective before you commit to anything and it goes without saying, you need peace of mind knowing that you have invested in a quality system that gives you optimum performance as well as being compatible with future technologies and a real team to support you not some crazy call centre. We have the tools to take the guesswork out of this investment you will understand exactly how your cash flow will benefit from week 1. No illusions, no tricks, just the hard facts based on your actual data and location we have industry-leading software that can generate an accurate and individual report based on your roof space, aspect, geographical location, energy agreement, specific components selection (panel and inverter choices), current consumption as well as how this looks if you are eligible for finance. Step 1. Email a copy of your most recent power bill through to [email protected] We will generate your 100% free, no-obligation, comprehensive solar assessment to establish exactly what your costs and returns will look like from week 1, projected out to 25 years. We will email your report back to you so you can take a look. It will have information similar to the example we have included in this post and a whole lot more. If you never want to hear from us again, then that is fine, but once you understand your specific assessment and you can see it will work for you, we can organize a phone or Zoom meeting to go through the finer details on exactly how we can achieve a cash-flow-positive investment for you from week 1 of your solar installation.

18.01.2022 A little bit more from our 100kW ground-mount solar system construction work out at Wenona Lodge, Gulgong this week.

17.01.2022 Coffin Creek Angus near Mudgee run a Seedstock operation comprising approximately 300 head of breeding cattle. Jacks brief to SPS Solar + Water was to replace an old windmill on an existing bore with a solar pump to supply water for their operation. The bore had a total depth of 16m (53 feet), a standing water level at 5.5m (18 feet), and a narrow 4-inch casing. Water was to be pumped from the bore up to holding tanks 800m away with a further 50m vertical lift bringing the t...otal vertical lift to 70m. SPS Solar specified and installed a Grundfos SQF 1.2-2 Submersible Pump with CU200 controller powered by a 5 x 260 watt ground-mount solar array. This system is capable of pumping up to 1200 litres an hour up to 160m lift. Jack said - Having good access to reliable, clean water on good trough systems is making a massive difference for us. Initially, we approached Steve, he came out on site and scoped the project for us and from then it was a seamless system and a really simple process. Its sunny more than its windy, its free, once its in it is set and forget, we put in over two years ago and havent had to look at it once. Compared to the ongoing maintenance of the windmill which seemed to be whenever we had cattle on troughs, solar is a no-brainer in my book.

16.01.2022 SPS Solar equipped this new bore which is now producing 31 litres per second for this commercial irrigation project.

16.01.2022 NSW Governments Renewables plan is expected to reduce emissions from NSW’s electricity sector by around half, compared to a business-as-usual trajectory, with an equivalent reduction of around 90 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually by 2030, and turn NSW into one of the lowest cost regions in the developed world...

15.01.2022 A fun and very full two days with the amazing team from OGA Creative talking to eight of our customers about their experience with SPS Solar - very excited to see the finished production... thank you to everyone involved for being so generous with your time @ Mudgee, New South Wales

15.01.2022 SPS Solar + Water have just completed an exciting project for Browning Brothers, Narromine. The challenge; to replace an old diesel, line-shaft bore pump with solar to cut running costs and provide water for their broadacre farming enterprise. The solution; a 15kW Franklin submersible pump @ 46m, capable of producing up to 20 litres per second powered by 41kW of solar PV positioned on two ground-mount arrays. The solar pumping system is blending solar and diesel in the shoulder periods via a ZENER Eco-drive, water is stored in a nearby reservoir.

14.01.2022 Lovely rain in Mudgee this week - not everyone has received the rain but the change is a welcome one and will hopefully become more widespread in the coming days and weeks

14.01.2022 late afternoon in the red dirt at Cobar, one of three remote solar diesel hybrid pumping systems quietly bringing water to the surface... #solarpumping #solarhybrid #solarenergy

14.01.2022 Excellent progress on our 100kW ground-mount solar installation for Wenona Lodge at Gulgong, trenching, wiring, and connecting... the team is running like a well-oiled machine... #solarpumpingsolutions #spssolar #solarpowersystem #commercialsolar #mudgeesolar

14.01.2022 No more power bill pain for these lovely customers out at Bara near Mudgee...their new 9.9kW installation looks great, but even better, their return on investment calculates out at 36.1% (yes, that is correct... thirty-six percent!!!). The payback period is 2.7 years and in the first year alone, they will save $3,590. Everyone could do with this kind of extra cash...

13.01.2022 LSR Mudgee originally made contact with SPS Solar to enquire about a solar solution for their commercial premises in 2014. Initially a 25kW grid connect solar system was installed. After great success with this installation as well as a company expansion, LSR came back to SPS Solar requesting an increase their system size. This was achieved with a system expansion up to 43kW. Simon Leven, LSR owner said: When we were looking into solar we wanted to use a company we could tru...st, one that would give us a personal service and who could design a system that would best suit our business. We received exactly this when we went with SPS, they were competitive with price and as a added bonus they were local. We would just like to say a huge thank you to SPS for the service and install of the solar panels at our workshop. The installation process was professional and speedy, followed by great after sales care that has been just as prompt and impressive. Since having the solar system at the workshop the results have been outstanding, our return on investment has far better than we expected and the savings have already been in the thousands.

12.01.2022 Perry Street Hotel approached SPS Solar for a solution to their power bill which was the greatest cost to their commercial accommodation operation. This was no ordinary commercial solar installation, challenges included a 52-degree roof pitch, heritage listed building, three stories and a fully booked hotel that was not able to close during the course of the installation. SPS Solar took care of all engineering and Heritage requirements with the customer and relevant departmen...ts and completed the installation without delay or incident. The 25.65 kW Grid Connected Solar system was fitted inside a fully scaffolded hotel and included Enphase 270w Micro Inverters and 90 Solar Modules as well as Enphase Envoy Monitoring providing consumption and production data and reporting for the customer. The installation produces an average of 128 kWh per day against an average daily site consumption 263kWh. Though the consumption would have supported a larger installation, roof space was a limiting factor. Perry Street has successfully made a significant dent in their power consumption costs.

11.01.2022 Renewables headed in the right direction...

11.01.2022 Things are starting to come together beautifully for our 100kW commercial, ground-mount, grid-connected solar power system under construction at Wenona Lodge, Gulgong. Sunny days make happy customers with a conservative 60% reduction projected in this customer's power consumption costs. #commercialsolar #solarpumpingsolutions #spssolar #mudgeesolarsolutions #gridfeedsolar #gridconnectsolar #groundmountsolarpower

10.01.2022 Replacing the old with the new at Geurie. This 2-panel (660w) solar array and Grundfos submersible bore pumping system will deliver 3,300 litres average water flow each day at a total dynamic head of 121m. No more diesel, no more windmill repair, no more running costs...

10.01.2022 This is dedication - working through the long night testing newly drilled bores at Cobar, cold, lonely and committed - hope the water holds... #solarpumpingsolutions #solar #remotesolar #longwayfromanywhere

10.01.2022 A recently installed 12.58 kW Grid Connected Solar System for our customer at Peel, NSW. An average Daily Solar Production of 53 kWh can be expected which will make a substantial difference to power costs at this family residence. This system is made up of 34 x Trina 370 watt Mono Crystalline Panels and two 5kW SolarEdge Single phase inverters.... SPS Solar support a number of quality inverters, we recommend using SolarEdge because it enables more energy generation from each solar panel by mitigating power losses that result from a mismatch between panels. Weaker panels do not affect the performance of strong ones. The SolarEdge system is future-proofed against potential risks that could cause decrease lifetime energy production.

09.01.2022 Last week saw our pump techs working on a 24 hour Bore Testing project taking them right through a frosty morning near Bathurst. The testing allowed our customer correct equipping of their two bores after determining accurate and specific draw down levels and sustainable flow rates. All in a days work! #solarpumpingsolutions #boretesting #boreboss #spssolar

09.01.2022 Cant wait to get the green lane... #renewables

09.01.2022 Back at the field days in Orange - come see us at site C49 - we will be talking pumps and solar here until Saturday @ Australian National Field Days

09.01.2022 Oz Choppers is a commercial helicopter refurbishment business that wanted to reduce their energy costs in the business and make a positive environmental difference. SPS conducted a comprehensive assessment of OC consumption over a 14 day period prior to presenting a solution to Oz Choppers. The final project consisted of 2 x 15 kW grid connected solar systems on the workshop roof area, to ensure compatibility with two 3 phase metering points within the main workshop and spray... booth shed. 120 PV modules coupled with 2 x SMA STP 15kW 3 phase inverters. This installation provides an average daily power production of 146 kWh. Kate Rogers, business owner said: From when we first contacted them, SPS Solar were very professional, Steve came and saw us, gave us a very detailed explanation of what he would do starting with the [site analysis] datalogging. After processing, he supplied a spreadsheet with clear costs and analysis, how long it would take and what the process would be. We were very well informed all the way along and it was all done very professionally. #solarpumpingsolutions #mudgeesolarpower #spssolar #commercialsolar #solarpower

07.01.2022 Some very professional construction work out at Narromine this month by our SPS Solar + Water pump crew - solar powered pumps locking in water security for this customer with no running costs - making the decision to go solar very easy. @ Narromine, New South Wales

06.01.2022 I like the sound of this...

06.01.2022 Some construction photos of this weeks solar pump installations in Mudgee - a nice change for our pump techs to work so close to home. This solar pumping system will achieve a total dynamic head of 51m, delivering approximately 9,000 litres water a day. The system is made up of 1 x Grundfos SQF 1.2-2 submersible bore pump and CU200 solar pump controller connected to a ground mount solar array combining 6 x 285w Yingli Bi-facial Mono PV modules providing 1.71 kW of power. Trenching done, poly pipe laid and connected to a poly storage tank and the water is flowing! #solarpumpingsolutions #solarpower #grundfos #pumps

05.01.2022 Installed this week, this 19kW commercial grid connect solar installation will make a HUGE difference in the power bill for The Vineyard Motor Inn, Mudgee #commercialsolar #gosolar #solarsavesyoumoney

05.01.2022 A successful pump installation last week at Stuart Town, this Grundfos solar submersible bore pump is producing an average of 24,700 lt (5440 gallons) per day. The pump is set 35m down and delivering water to a tank 2km away. Powered by 10 x 330-watt panels (3.3kW) on a ground-mount array, the system is set up as an automatic pressure system with pressure switch, pressure gauge, pressure tank in conjunction with a dual-acting float valve into the tank. No waiting for the wind to blow or a diesel generator to be re-filled...water is assured and the system is completely maintenance-free!

05.01.2022 It's great to see the sun shining on this brand new 23.31 kW Commercial Solar System recently installed for McGrath Estate Agent’s in Mudgee. This roof-mounted solar system is made up of 63 x 370 watt Trina Split Max Monocrystalline panels, an individual Power Optimiser for each module all combined with a Solar Edge Three Phase inverter. This solar installation will produce between 100-125 kilowatt-hours of power every day for the 30-year life of the system and will have a significant impact on the power consumption costs at this commercial premises. #commercialsolar #spssolarmudgee #solarpumpingsolutions #savewithsolar #solarforyourbusinessmakessense #gridfeedsolar

05.01.2022 This solar powered pumping project recently completed for Browning Brothers, Narromine has helped transform a barren field into a thriving Canola crop for its first spring. SPS Solar replaced an old diesel, line-shaft bore pump with solar to cut running costs and provide water for this broadacre farming enterprise. A 15kW Franklin submersible pump was set at a 46m depth and is producing up to 20 litres per second. The pump is powered by 41kW of solar PV positioned on two ground-mount arrays. When required, the system is capable of blending solar and diesel via a CAT genset during shoulder periods this is achieved via a ZENER Eco-drive. All up a great success with many more seasons ahead. #solarpumpingsolutions #solarpower #solarpumps #grundfospumps #spssolarmudgee

05.01.2022 End of day one at Mudgee Field Days - bit chilly but it didnt stop the crowds - great day - ready to do it all again tomorrow! #solarpower #solarpumps #wemovewaterwell

03.01.2022 Electric Vehicles are not just limited to the domestic market...

03.01.2022 Interesting article from IRENA shows in 2018 one third of the worlds power was now sourced from renewables - the gap is closing...

02.01.2022 Our awesome solar crew finished up this 13kW system this week at the Mudgee Community Preschool - it will go a long way to eliminating power consumption for these guys while they carefully look after Mudgees next generation!

02.01.2022 SPS Solar are happy to advise we have been classified as an essential service in the newly released NSW legislation today - we are carefully adjusting our processes to remain in front of and compliant with all recommendations to protect our team and our customers and look forward to continuing to supply solar power and water pumping solutions to those that need it. @ Mudgee, New South Wales

02.01.2022 We were treated to a couple of solar installations in Sydney this month, not our usual place of business but a change is as good as a holiday! This is the start of one of the grid connect solar installations - this 14kW system included 40 x LG 350 watt Neon Mono Crystalline Panels with a Matt Black frame for a subtle visual impact. You can see in the video the neatly laid out 40 x Enphase IQ 7 micro inverters - this was paired with an Envoy system management and monitoring so our customer can beat his shading issues and keep a very close eye on his system performance.

01.01.2022 Its a wrap some of the projects our solar installation team have been working on this week. And a heads up to our youngest team member, John who started as a first-year electrical apprentice with us in January. John is learning side by side with his dad as his supervisor and making exceptional progress. SPS Solar is proud to employ local people, and it makes us very happy to know that amongst our crews, we now have three families with two family members working side by side together on our team! Keeping it local at SPS! #spssolar #solarpumpingsolutions #solarpowermudgee #employinglocals #shoplocal #supportlocal

01.01.2022 Solar is one of the few purchases you can make that will save you money from day one, even if you decide to use finance. Talk to us about your solar investment and we can calculate how much you will save, each week, every week for the next 25 years...

01.01.2022 Another 6.4kW Grid Connected solar system has gone up at Gulgong this week - new shed, new roof, new FREE power supply! With an average of 26kWh of power produced every day (for the next 25 years!) this family will no longer suffer power-bill-pain!
