FAQs
Is off-grid just solar?
1
No - solar and batteries are just one part of the picture. Off-grid living also needs reliable water supply, wastewater treatment, and hot water. All of these use power. We design everything together so your energy system can handle the full load.

Do you help with council compliance?
5
Yes. We assist with all your water and waste water compliance with council and your local water board. We know the requirements for off-grid systems in regional Victoria—wastewater permits, water tank regulations, and electrical standards. We design to meet these from the start and can liaise with councils during approvals.
Do you install composting and incinerating toilets?
6
Yes. We supply and install both as part of our wastewater solutions. They're great options for off-grid properties and can reduce water and energy use significantly.
Do you work on tiny homes?
7
Yes. Tiny Homes need everything a regular home needs - reliable water supply, proper wastewater management, and right sized energy systems. We have options specifically designed to meet the unique needs of a tiny home.
What's the typical cost of a project?
8
Every project is different—household size, water sources, wastewater needs, and energy demands all affect scope and cost. We provide detailed quotes after understanding your situation. Reach out for an initial chat.
Can you upgrade an existing off-grid system?
9
Yes. We regularly assess and upgrade existing systems. Sometimes, existing systems are old and just don’t work anymore. We review your needs and design complete new systems for your home and lifestyle.
Do I need to be off-grid to work with you?
10
We work on full off-grid or semi-off-grid projects. Some properties may have mains power and no water, or water but no wastewater or power. We design and install the systems to fill the gaps to allow you to live a comfortable off-grid life for years to come.
What makes STAG different from a solar installer?
11
We’re different because we’re not just solar. We design your whole system - water, waste-water, hot water, and energy systems like solar and gas. That means when we do design your solar system, everything is considered up front, including future upgrades or expansions.
