Reply within 24 hours The numbers
Perfectly matched. A day off-grid at Link Hall.
81.27 kWp of solar and a 200 kWh battery run borehole irrigation entirely off-grid — one sunny day, powered by the sun, with the backup generator left on standby.
Why retrofit
When the grid is the bottleneck.
Beat the connection queue.
Power your site while others wait for the DNO — connection upgrades are commonly quoted in years.
Island mode.
Run fully independent, or hybrid alongside a limited supply — your constrained connection covers baseload while solar and storage carry the peaks.
Cut diesel dependence.
Solar and storage do the work; the generator becomes backup instead of the main event.
Sized from data.
Half-hourly modelling matches generation, storage and backup to your real loads — winter weeks as well as summer days.
Room to grow.
Add capacity as your site expands, without a new connection offer.
Run by Nova AI.
Off grid, intelligence matters even more. Nova AI decides when to store, when to spend and when to start the generator — the site never notices the grid isn’t there.

The approach
Designed as one system: solar, storage, backup.
- Free feasibility survey and half-hourly consumption modelling — we’re honest if the numbers don’t stack up.
- Solar, battery and generator designed and sized as one system.
- Installed by our own accredited teams, typically within months rather than the years a connection upgrade takes.
- Monitored and maintained, with Nova AI managing every kilowatt-hour.
Nova AI
Your battery is only as good as the intelligence running it.
Nova AI is our energy-management platform. Off grid, it makes the call for every kilowatt-hour — when to spend solar, when to hold the battery, and when to start the generator — so the site never notices the grid isn't there.
- Every load carried by the cheapest source available — solar first, storage second, generator last.
- Generator run-hours minimised: it starts only when weather and state of charge demand it.
- Hybrid-ready — if a grid connection arrives later, the same system starts trading against tariffs.
Proof
Off-grid expertise few installers can offer.
Fully off-grid design is a different discipline from rooftop solar — generation, storage and backup matched to every half-hour of the site's demand. Novalux has already delivered it three ways: at Link Hall, 81.27kWp of solar and a 200kWh battery run borehole irrigation entirely off-grid — a full day's pumping on zero grid import with the generator left on standby. Whitebarn is our first completely off-grid farm, powered by solar and storage alone. And Bradley Farm runs one system in two modes — on-grid when the grid makes sense, off-grid when it doesn't.
Questions
The questions asked before going off-grid.
Can a site really run without any grid connection?
Yes. Solar generates through the day, the battery carries evenings and overnight loads, and a backup generator covers extended dull periods. We size all three from your half-hourly consumption so the site stays powered year-round.
We have a small or constrained connection — is hybrid possible?
Yes. The system can run in hybrid mode: your limited grid supply covers baseload while solar and storage carry the peaks. If the connection improves later, the same equipment simply changes role.
How long does an off-grid system take compared with a grid upgrade?
Connection upgrades are commonly quoted in years. An off-grid or hybrid system is typically designed, consented and installed within months — we will give you a realistic programme at feasibility stage.
What payback should we expect?
It depends on what you are displacing — diesel generation, a costly connection offer, or lost production. We model payback from your own data and are honest if the numbers do not stack up.
