Micro-grids
Designing Micro-Grids Across Brisbane to Northern NSW
We design bespoke micro-grid systems for rural properties, businesses and remote sites across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Northern NSW.
Energy independence for properties the grid doesn't reach
For rural properties, multi-building sites and businesses that need to stand on their own, a micro-grid brings solar, battery storage, generators and smart energy management together into a self-sufficient energy system. It's specialist work, and it's work we do.
The problem we solve
- Not every property is well served by the grid. Some are remote, with expensive or unreliable connections. Others are large sites (farms, multi-building operations, businesses) where energy resilience and independence genuinely matter.
- A micro-grid solves this by combining generation, storage and intelligent management into a system that can run largely, or entirely, on its own. It's more involved than a standard rooftop install, and it needs to be designed properly. That's exactly the kind of project our design-led, in-house approach is built for.
How it works
A micro-grid brings several elements together into one coordinated system:
- Generation: solar sized for the site's demand
- Storage: battery capacity to carry the site through low-generation periods
- Generator: to top up batteries when the sun isn’t shining
- Smart management: controlling generation, storage, and loads intelligently
- Grid interaction (where applicable): importing or exporting when it makes sense, or running fully islanded
Every micro-grid is bespoke. We design it around your site, your loads and your independence goals.

- Reduced reliance on an expensive or unreliable grid connection
- Designed and delivered by our own in-house team
Do you actually do micro-grids?
Yes. They're specialist projects and part of what we offer.
Who is a micro-grid right for?
Typically rural or remote properties, large multi-building sites, and businesses valuing resilience.
Can a micro-grid run completely off-grid?
Yes, depending on the design. We tailor it to your goals.
How much does a micro-grid cost?
Every project is bespoke, so we need to understand your site first.
How long does a micro-grid project take?
Longer than a standard install. We'll provide a realistic timeline.
Is this the same as just having solar and a battery?
No. A micro-grid coordinates generation, storage and loads into one self-sufficient system.
Why choose CSP for micro-grids?
Micro-grids reward exactly what we're good at: designing complete energy systems, not selling packages. With almost two decades of industry experience, in-house Gold Master Electricians and a genuinely design-led approach, we can take on the specialist projects many installers won't. If you've got a site in mind, let's talk it through.
