Ubud is the most technically interesting place we work. The villas climbing the ridges around Penestanan, Sayan and Tegallalang sit under exactly the canopy that makes the area beautiful — and shading analysis here is not a formality, it decides whether a project makes sense at all. The grid is the other variable: properties at the end of long rural feeders toward Tegallalang or Payangan get brownouts and outages that the centre of town never sees, and some land beyond the rice terraces has no PLN connection at all. Ubud is where we design our most genuinely off-grid systems, and also where we most often tell someone honestly that their roof is too shaded and solar is not their answer.

What We Install Most in Ubud

Off-Grid Systems

Jungle land without PLN — full solar-battery-generator independence, sized for the wettest month. Full details →

System Design & Shading Analysis

Under canopy, the survey is everything. We map sun hours across your site before recommending anything. Full details →

Hybrid Systems

End-of-feeder villas with weekly brownouts — a battery turns grid roulette into a non-event. Full details →

Solar Water Heaters

Even partly shaded Ubud roofs heat water well — often the best first step here. Full details →

Solar Under the Canopy

Photovoltaics hate partial shade — one branch across a string at 10 a.m. costs disproportionately more than intuition suggests — so an honest Ubud design starts with a day-long shading map, not a panel count. Sometimes the answer is a smaller array on the one clear roof plane with microinverter-style optimisation; sometimes it is panels on a garage or ground mount in the garden clearing instead of the villa roof; occasionally it is "your site cannot do this well, save your money", which we say plainly. For Ubud's eco-resorts the calculus is reputational as much as financial: guests increasingly check whether the sustainability page matches reality, and a visible, working array with monitoring data answers that. Where the grid is weak or absent — common toward Denpasar's opposite extreme on rural feeders — our off-grid designs with two days of battery autonomy carry properties through wet-season weeks PLN never could. Every Ubud project begins with the design service; under canopy, measurement beats optimism.

Frequently Asked Questions — Ubud

My Ubud villa is surrounded by trees — is solar even possible?
Sometimes yes, sometimes honestly no. We map shading across a full day before recommending anything; options include optimised arrays on the clearest roof plane or a ground mount in a garden clearing. If the numbers do not work, we tell you and suggest a solar water heater instead.
Can you build a fully off-grid system for land without PLN?
Yes — that is our specialty in the Ubud hinterland. Solar array sized for the wettest month, LiFePO4 bank with two days of autonomy, and a small generator as third backup. See off-grid systems.
Is Ubud too rainy for solar?
Ubud gets more cloud than the coast, and we model it honestly — yields run roughly 10% below Canggu per installed kWp. The economics still work; the design just has to use Ubud numbers, not brochure numbers.
Do you serve villages around Ubud?
Yes — Penestanan, Sayan, Tegallalang, Payangan, Mas, Peliatan and the surrounding hinterland. Remote-site surveys are scheduled weekly.
