I think our very first off-grid system was near Boar Gully in the Brisbane Ranges

I think our very first off-grid system was near Boar Gully in the Brisbane Ranges. The customer was a moter mechanic who worked in Grovedale – We were very excited to get the job then!
It used a 24v set of Exide wet lead acid batteries, Selectronic 1200 watt blue series inverter and a Woods 24v 40A battery charger with 8 BP 75 watt panels
The customer experimented with a clever? System of altering the tilt angle for summer/winter
Those were the days when panels were very expensive – over $1000 per panel and everybody wanted the squeeze the absolute best out of the solar charging system. I can recall years later when panel prices fell to $10/watt and we thought – how can they go lower??? Now some panels are below 50c /watt
