About Us

G'day, I'm Mick. I'm based out of Alice Springs and I've been touring the Australian outback for over 15 years.

When I first started heading off-grid, figuring out how much solar and battery power I needed was a nightmare. I'd either run out of power on day two, or I'd spend way too much money on gear I didn't actually need.

After years of trial and error, upgrading setups, and helping mates wire up their rigs, I decided to build this 4WD Solar Calculator. The goal is simple: to give you a realistic, no-nonsense estimate of what you need to keep your fridge cold and your camp lights on, without the guesswork.

Why Trust This Calculator?

  • Real-World Experience: Built on 15+ years of actual outback touring, not just theory.
  • Aussie Conditions: Tailored for Australian sun hours and typical 4WD setups.
  • Independent Advice: We recommend gear we actually use and trust out in the bush.

Whether you're planning a weekend trip to the high country or a 6-month lap around the map, I hope this tool helps you get your 12V system sorted.

See you out on the tracks,
Mick
