Overview

Across rural Australia, fragile grid connections and the risk of bushfires have accelerated the move to Stand-Alone Power Systems. By replacing parts of the traditional network, CD Power and SkyGreen are enabling greater energy independence, improved safety, and cost efficiency for remote communities.

Challenges

  • Customising SAPS to different site-specific energy needs
  • High costs and logistics for on-site maintenance in remote areas
  • Limited access for regular checks in remote locations
  • Need for real-time monitoring and optimisation
  • Ensuring reliable operation under extreme weather conditions

Solution

CD Power engineered modular and scalable SAPS tailored to diverse rural energy demands. With advanced IoT-enabled monitoring, extended generator service intervals, and rugged design, these systems reduce maintenance requirements and deliver consistent, renewable energy in challenging environments

  • Modular, scalable design to meet varied site requirements
  • Over 5 years of SAPS engineering expertise
  • Custom generators with extended service intervals
  • Long service life reducing installation and operational costs
  • IoT-enabled monitoring with 4G/satellite connectivity
  • Designed for extreme weather resilience
