Electricity – Remote area power system. Photovoltaic solar panels placed in a North facing area, they generate DC electricity from the sun’s rays. In conjunction with a wind generator to complement this, as well as a diesel generator for back-up. All power is sent through a regulator and stored in a bank of long-life, deep-cycle, low-maintenance batteries. When power is required it is drawn from the batteries through an inverter which transforms it into 240V AC electricity, identical to the power that is received through the electricity mains.
Water – Water can be drawn from the existing bore, and rainwater will also be collected from the roof into a large tank. The water will be purified using an Aviva Pure (or similar) water desalination unit, as bore water can be quite salty and dirty. A solar water pump will be used to bring this water into the house. A roof mounted solar hot water system will be used to heat the water.
Sewerage – Underground septic tanks will be used to manage waste product from the house.
