This grid interactive system generates up to 10kWh per day, and helps to offset mains electricity with power sourced from the sun. The system is designed so that solar electricity is fed straight into the energy demand along with mains-sourced power. Any excess electricity that is generated is fed back to the grid for use elsewhere.

The system was opened by the Federal Member for Macquarie, the Honourable Bob Debus on 26 August 2009.
