Des Mullins Electrical help power Wagga Wagga community garden

Nick from Des Mullins Electrical in Wagga, NSW, was recently tasked with designing a small off-grid solar-charged system for the local community garden. The goal was to power the gardening tools with a reliable, low-maintenance solution that would stand the test of time.

Nick carefully designed and cabled the system, ensuring a neat and efficient setup. The installation was crafted to provide the community garden with a safe, high-quality power supply tailored to their specific needs.

The components used in this project include:

• Victron 12V/165Ah (Flag) Gel Deep Cycle Battery (BAT412151104)
• Victron Phoenix Inverter 12/800 230V VE.Direct AU/NZ (PIN121801300)
• Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 (SCC110050210)
• Victron Battery Monitor BMV-700 Retail (BAM010700000)
• Noark 80A 500VDC 2Pole MCCB (852894 - Ex9MD1B)
• Noark IP65 Waterproof Enclosure for Ex9MD Size 1-2 MCCB 80A-250A (850771)

The result? A robust and reliable off-grid power solution that meets the community garden's needs with minimal maintenance. This setup ensures that the gardening tools are always ready to use, powered by a system designed for longevity and safety.
