The ultimate DIY off grid Kit!
RedEarth BlackMax Solar Power System is the first-ever Australian-made Off-Grid battery energy storage system (BESS) to be approved by Australia’s Clean Energy Council (CEC), making it the most advanced and compliant Australian-made off-grid system on the CEC list. BlackMax Power Pack is the ideal solution if you want to power an outlying area that has no grid-connected power, but it is now also available for On-Grid.
Whether you live in a rural location without reliable grid power access, or simply want a more sustainable lifestyle, our Off Grid Solar Kit systems provide the perfect power solution. Our systems are ideal for the man cave, your back shed, a weekender, a granny flat, a small cabin or a shack. The systems are pre-built, packaged, and shipped to you – ready for you and your local electrician to install. The BlackMax Kit systems are designed for applications with a daily power usage from 3 up to 12kWh plus during daytime the excess generated energy from the chosen solar PV array depending on season, location and weather).
We’ve done all the running around for you. All the hardware, cabling, mounting equipment for metal roof and electronics are all included saving you precious time.

DIY BLACKMAX OFF GRID KIT [NO PANELS]
Calculating your energy requirements To find out which one of the Off-Grid Solar Power Kits would suit your circumstances, you’ll need to find out your average daily power usage. The electrical power rating of a typical appliance is generally given in Watts which you can find by either looking at the appliance’s identification sticky label or by the products data given in the user manual. Some manufacturers give the appliances wattage value in volt-amps, for example, 200VA (two hundred volt-amps). This volt-amps rating is more or less the same as that given in Watts because Watts is just voltage times current, that is volts times amps, or V x A which is shortened to just VA. The appliances daily energy consumption is simply calculated as the Wattage rating multiplied by the number of hours per day it is switched on or being used (watts times hours or W*hr). So, for example, if our 200W appliance is used for 5 hours during a 24 hour period, then the total consumption of energy would be 200W multiplied by 5 hours which gives 1,000 watt-hours or 1 kWh (one kilowatt hours), as 1,000 watts is equal to 1 kilowatt (kW). Likewise, if you had a 60W lamp switched on at night for 3 hours, its energy consumption would be 60 multiplied by 3 which equals 180Whr (one hundred and eighty watt hours), or 0.18kWhr. The advantage of using watts is that wattage always represents the electrical power of an appliance regardless of the supply voltage. Once done, repeat the above calculations for all the electrical items you want to power from your Off Grid Solar Kit and add them up.
