Off-grid power options for a capsule home
Solar, battery and generator sizing for an off-grid E7 capsule in Australian conditions.
An E7 capsule with full appliances draws roughly 5–10 kWh per day in normal use — less if you're careful with the A/C.
A typical off-grid setup: 3–5 kW of solar PV, a 10 kWh lithium battery, and a small backup inverter-generator for cloudy stretches. Add rainwater tanks and a pump for water.
We can supply this as a package or recommend local installers. The pod ships pre-wired so the install is quick once panels and battery are on site.
