Hybrid & Off-Grid Solar in Noosa
Family-run and Maroochydore-based, Advantage Communications & Electrical specialises in hazardous areas, smart tech and off-grid power — trusted locally for 15+ years.
Noosa Off-Grid Solar
Energy freedom means different things to different people. At Advantage Communications & Electrical, we help Noosa locals make the switch with hybrid and off-grid solar solutions designed to suit their lifestyle — not someone else’s blueprint. Whether you’re building new, upgrading your energy supply or cutting ties with the grid entirely, we deliver systems that work all year round. We install full off-grid setups and hybrid systems that stay connected for added security. Both include battery storage, monitoring tools and generator integration where needed. Give us a call on

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I upgrade from hybrid to off-grid later?
Hybrid systems combine solar panels, batteries and a connection to the grid. They store power during the day and let you use it at night or during blackouts, but still draw on the grid when needed.
Off-grid systems, by contrast, operate completely independently and need to supply all your power needs without grid support. Both have benefits depending on your energy use and property type.
Can I upgrade from hybrid to off-grid later?
Yes, many hybrid systems are designed to be expandable. If your battery capacity, inverter and solar array are sized properly, it’s possible to add components and disconnect from the grid later.
However, not every system is built with this flexibility. It's important to discuss future goals during the design stage so the system can grow with you.
What happens on cloudy days or during storms?
Both off-grid and hybrid systems account for days with little sun. That’s where battery storage and backup generators come in. Systems are typically designed to carry at least one or two days of energy use in reserve.
Hybrid systems can lean on the grid when needed, while off-grid setups require careful load management and a reliable generator for longer periods of low solar generation.
Solar Power Set Up the Right Way
We start by understanding how you actually use electricity — how often, when, and for what. Then we design a system that’s shaped around those patterns, whether that means going fully off-grid or using the grid as a backup. Our hybrid systems offer the best of both worlds, cutting power bills while keeping you connected.
Noosa homes benefit from setups that handle coastal humidity, varied sun exposure and flexible usage. We size panels and batteries with long-term performance in mind and use gear built to last. From your first consult to final switch-on, everything’s explained in plain terms.
