Reliable Off-Grid Power: Victron System for 12V & 24V Critical Infrastructure

At Rubix Solar, we understand that power reliability isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. That’s why we’re excited to showcase one of our latest custom off-grid power system featuring Victron Energy components, designed to deliver dependable 12V and 24V power for critical infrastructure.

🔌 The Project Brief

A customer approached us with a specific requirement: they needed a reliable DC power supply for both 12V and 24V equipment as part of a critical infrastructure setup. The system had to be compact, low-maintenance, and able to provide 3–4 days of energy autonomy without grid support.

Our solution? An efficient Victron-based system neatly housed within a weatherproof enclosure.


⚡ System Components

This tailored installation features:

  • 🔋 2 × Victron 24V 200Ah Lithium Batteries
    Robust, high-capacity batteries designed for long cycle life and deep discharging. Giving nearly 10kWh of storage with a small footprint.
  • 🔷 Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/60-Tr
    High-efficiency solar charge controller to maximise solar input and maintain battery health. This system was to have 4 x 475 watt solar modules connected for enough solar to charge the batteries in the middle of winter.
  • 🔧 Orion-Tr 120W DC-DC Converter
    Converts 24V power to a regulated 12V output so both 12 and 24v loads can be supplied.
  • 💡 Victron Lynx Distributor
    Ensures tidy distribution of DC power with fusing to all circuits.
  • 🔒 Victron Lynx Smart BMS500 (M8)
    Advanced battery management system offering real-time monitoring, protection, and battery control.

🛠️ What Does It Power?

This system provides reliable power to:

  • 12V and 24V critical load circuits
  • Remote monitoring and communications equipment
  • Essential off-grid infrastructure
  • Emergency backup systems

Whether it’s keeping sensors online during a blackout or powering critical equipment where the grid doesn’t reach, this system delivers.
