A water treatment plant in South Australia (SA) has employed a containerised off-grid power system installed by SA renewable energy systems company MyEnergy Engineering, in an area with no grid connection that ensures energy needs are met, and essential water movement and filtration processes run continuously.
The system includes 99.6 kW of Jinko Solar panels, three Victron Quattro 48/15000 inverter/chargers, and a 96 kWh Pylontech battery.
Key components include six Victron SmartSolar MPPT RS450/200-TR, two Fronius Symo 20.03, a Victron Cerbo GX and Clenergy ground mounting system.
The system was tailor-made within a 20-foot insulated and airconditioned shipping container on site at MyEnergy headquarters in Adelaide, then transported to the water treatment plant location in Callington, approximately 55 kilometres southeast of Adelaide.
“The system reflects a proven approach to supplying power in locations where no suitable dwelling or infrastructure exists to house equipment,” a MyEnergy spokesperson said.
“By integrating core components, including battery storage and control systems, into a secure, transportable container, we deliver a complete, ready-to-deploy solution that reduces installation time, protects equipment and simplifies long-term maintenance.”
The project was recognised at the 2025 Master Electricians Australia Industry Excellence Awards, receiving ‘Highly Commended’ for Clean Energy Project of the Year – Commercial Project Under $1 million (USD 700,000).
