Rob and his family live off-grid in the Lockyer Valley in two Expanda tiny homes powered by a 12 kW solar array, a 12 kW inverter and an OFFGRID NOW Robusta 12.30 battery cabinet. The setup reliably runs household essentials — fridge, AC, water pump and appliances — backed by a 25,000‑litre tank and Starlink internet. Chosen for practicality, portability and cost-effectiveness, ground‑mounted panels allow the tiny homes to be moved. Rob sees the system paying for itself within years. Their calm, experienced approach shows off‑grid living can be accessible, sustainable and genuinely comfortable. Josh maintains systems and troubleshoots tech for daily reliability.
