A full off-grid home at Orapiu, Waiheke Island — complete electrical independence with solar, battery storage and backup power doing the work of the grid.
Tucked away at Orapiu, on the quieter southern side of Waiheke Island, this home was built with one uncompromising brief: complete independence from the grid. No power poles running down the driveway, no mains connection to fall back on — just a home designed from the ground up to generate, store and manage every watt it needs.
Going fully off-grid means the electrical system has to do the job an entire regional network usually does — reliably, quietly, and without a single point of failure. Integrated Electrical was engaged to design and install the complete power system: solar generation, battery storage and backup capacity sized to carry the home through Waiheke's long summer days and its greyer winter stretches alike, with every circuit in the house managed to work in harmony with what the sun and the batteries could actually deliver.
The finished home runs entirely on its own power, from the kitchen and living areas through to the bathrooms and every light fitting — comfortable, self-sufficient living with the electrical system doing its work invisibly in the background. It's proof that going off-grid doesn't mean going without.
