Self-Sufficient Living with a Power Hub in Tarleton, Tasmania
Introduction
In the tranquil locale of Tarleton, Tasmania. Mark sought to transform his off-grid living experience from being tethered to a noisy, costly 3kVA generator to embracing a silent, self-sufficient lifestyle. His collaboration with Commodore aimed to achieve three key objectives: to live self-sufficiently, avoid the exorbitant cost of grid connection despite the proximity of a power pole, and eliminate the incessant noise and high running costs of his petrol generator.
Challenge
Mark’s challenge was twofold: firstly, to establish a power system that would allow him to live self-sufficiently and secondly, to do so in a manner that was both cost-effective and peaceful, removing the constant auditory reminder of a generator humming in the background.
Solution
To address Mark’s needs and challenges, we installed our Power Hub 5, which included:
- Victron Multiplus 48/5000 Inverter Charger
- Victron SmartSolar 450V/100A Solar Charger MPPT
- 8 x 425W Trina Solar Panels
- 2 x US5000B Pylontech Batteries
- 5.7kVA Automatic Start Diesel Generator
This setup was meticulously designed to ensure Mark could enjoy his off-grid lifestyle with the utmost ease, free from the perpetual drone of a generator.
Results

The Power Hub 5 not only provides a reliable, continuous power source but also does so quietly and efficiently. This allows Mark to fully immerse himself in the peaceful surroundings of Tarleton without interruption.
