Many remote and critical sites rely on a diesel generator for primary or backup power, and generators often spend long hours running at low load, which is inefficient and hard on the engine. A generator and battery hybrid system changes that: solar and batteries supply most of the load, and the generator starts only when needed to recharge the battery or support heavy loads, running at an efficient output when it does.

Hybrid systems are priced from $39,900 per site, installed, as an indicative starting price. The final fixed price is confirmed in writing after a site assessment and detailed design.

What's included

  • Site assessment of loads, generator condition, solar array location and battery housing
  • Load and fuel analysis to size the solar, battery and inverter capacity
  • System design with automatic generator start and stop control
  • Supply of solar panels, LFP battery storage and hybrid inverters suited to generator integration
  • Installation by our SAA-accredited installers, with electrical work by our licensed electricians
  • Integration with your existing generator, or advice on a replacement where needed
  • Remote monitoring set-up for battery state, generator runtime and faults
  • Commissioning, testing under load and handover training for site staff

Why Blue Energy Solar

We service Sydney and regional NSW within roughly 200 km, including rural areas around Bathurst, Orange, Lithgow, Goulburn and the Southern Highlands. Every site is assessed in person before we quote, because remote and critical systems depend on accurate load data. We use premium equipment, including JA Solar panels and batteries and inverters from Sigenergy, GoodWe, Fox ESS and Sungrow, selected to suit each site's requirements.

Recommended for

Farms, remote commercial sites, pumping stations and critical facilities that rely on diesel generators for primary or backup power.

A diesel generator used as a primary power source can cost $1,500-$4,000+ a year in fuel alone, so reducing runtime matters. How much a hybrid saves depends on the site's loads, solar resource, battery size and configuration. Sites with strong daytime loads and good sun typically see the largest reductions, while winter and cloudy periods need more generator support.

Critical sites need a design that allows for equipment failure and maintenance, not just average conditions. A genuinely off-grid system cannot join a Virtual Power Plant. Grid-connected sites need network approval, and remote installations may involve extra freight and travel costs, shown in the quote.

Directions

1. Request a site assessment and share generator runtime, fuel records and load details.
2. Our team inspects the site, generator, switchboard and installation locations.
3. We design the hybrid system and provide a fixed-price written quote.
4. Once you accept, we order equipment and schedule installation.
5. Our installers and licensed electricians install the system, integrate the generator and commission it.
6. We set up monitoring, train site staff and provide ongoing after-sales support.

Warnings

The price shown is an indicative starting price; the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after a site assessment and detailed design.
Existing generators must be suitable for automatic start integration, or may need upgrading or replacing.
Fuel and runtime reductions are estimates and are not guaranteed.
Grid-connected sites require network approval, and some installations may need council approval.
Sites beyond our standard service area or with difficult access may incur additional travel and freight costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Often, yes, if it is in good condition, has suitable capacity and has or can be fitted with automatic start. We inspect the generator during the site assessment. If it is oversized for its new role, near the end of its life or cannot be controlled automatically, we explain the options and include them in the quote.

It depends on your loads, the solar resource, battery size and seasonal patterns. A hybrid is designed so solar and battery cover most daytime and evening loads, which reduces how often the generator runs, but we do not promise a fixed figure. The design shows estimated runtime and fuel use before and after, based on your data.

The control system starts the generator automatically when the battery reaches a set level, recharges the battery and supplies the load, then stops the generator when it is no longer needed. Settings are adjusted during commissioning to balance battery life, fuel use and reliability for your site.

The generator still needs regular servicing, although typically less often because it runs fewer hours. Solar panels need occasional inspection and professional cleaning where dust builds up, and batteries and inverters need periodic checks and firmware updates. Remote monitoring helps our team spot faults early, and we explain the maintenance schedule at handover.
