Off‑grid systems
Power properties beyond the mains grid with a renewable energy system that brings together generation, storage and backup.
Designed for life beyond the power lines
Off-grid systems need to work with real conditions, not ideal ones. We design solar and battery systems around the site, the seasons and the way energy is used day to day.
From remote homes and rural businesses to farms and island properties, every system is planned to provide reliable power where the grid doesn’t reach.
Generate, store and use your own power off-grid
An off-grid solar and battery system can help provide dependable electricity throughout the year.
At aes renewables, we design each system around the property, the setting and the people using it, so it supports everyday energy needs with confidence.

A complete energy system designed around your needs
Off-grid systems combine solar panels and battery storage to generate power during the day and store it for when you need it.
We’ll match the solar array, battery capacity and any backup generation to your property’s energy use, so the system is planned around real demand.
Well suited to remote homes, farms and businesses
Off-grid solar systems can be a practical option where a mains connection is unavailable, difficult or too costly. They’re often used for remote homes, farms, estates, holiday accommodation and commercial sites that need dependable power.
We’ll start by understanding how you use electricity before recommending a system.
Designed for reliability all year round
A good off-grid system needs careful planning. We’ll look at your typical energy use, peak demand and seasonal changes before designing the system.
Where extra resilience is needed, backup generation can be included to support periods of lower solar generation.
Greater independence from the grid
For many remote properties, connecting to the mains network isn’t straightforward. An off-grid system gives you more control over how your electricity is generated, stored and used.
We’ll design the system around the way you live or work, so it supports everyday power needs with confidence.
