Lingerwood Energy SystemOwned and managed by the Lingerwood
Community Association (the residents)
Energy Grid
Each Lingerwood home is fitted with high quality solar panels
and inverter system from a tier 1 supplier.
All these systems will be interconnected and controlled
utilising the latest technology.
Each Lingerwood home is both independent and inter-connected.
With 9.6kW of solar panels on each roof, individual households have
ample capacity to fill their energy needs, with excess energy
filling the community batteries; and when the batteries are full,
the energy overflow being sold to the grid. In times of need, each
household can draw from the community batteries. The Community will
always be powered, either directly from each home’s solar panels,
or drawing from the community batteries, or from the grid in
inclement weather when solar panel and community battery capacities
are low.
To the power of 10! The combined bargaining power for the
Community with its chosen energy retailer to negotiate buy and sell
prices for power.
Excess power is sold back to the grid - this income going into
the Lingerwood Community Association fund for maintenance of the
infrastructure and other community assets.
Lingerwood energy system can draw from the grid if required in
extreme weather conditions.
NBN provides smart home capabilities including the ability to
optimise your household appliances with smart connectivity such as
lighting, media, security, air conditioning and pool pumps.
Reduce your carbon footprint and save money by selling excess
solar energy back to the grid. House designs encouraged to also
feature water saving systems.

At Lingerwood, residents own the energy company. Community-based
power generation is an innovation that promises to revolutionise
the way we live in the future, but at Lingerwood it’s available
now.
Lingerwood’s innovative energy supply architecture is
sustainable, ethical, and cost-effective. Energy from solar systems
located at each property in the community is shared using an
embedded community network and metered community energy scheme with
a contract to sell back to the grid. It’s an incredibly simple
concept - elegant in its design - but previously difficult to
implement in traditional residential models. Lingerwood changes all
that.
The technical, legal and infrastructure frameworks have been
cleverly devised so you and your family, and the Lingerwood
Community Association are the beneficiaries.Lingerw
