Living Off-The-Grid

Things to know:

Living off-the-grid requires mindful electricity use and daily energy management. This lifestyle entails planning and coordinating your energy use based on available sunlight and battery charge.

Those who live off-the-grid are their own utility, even in the middle of winter when sunlight is low and needs are high. We can install a generator to provide backup power for your off-grid solar system.

Cost varies widely but can be between $60,000-150,000. These systems qualify for the 26% federal tax credit.

We can help you explore this option if you think it is feasible for you and your home.

We would design your off-grid system after receiving a design fee. Get started by filling out the form below:

Please describe the project location – i.e. do you prefer roof mount or ground mount, fixed or tracking array, etc. Please list potential locations for batteries.
Would you like the system to be portable?
- Yes
- No
Will you have auxiliary power generation sources in addition to the solar power system? Ex: generator, wind turbine, hydroelectric, etc.?
How critical are your loads, i.e. if the batteries are discharged, no power is available and you have to wait for the solar array to charge the batteries, what is at stake?
Are you looking at other options, such as a dedicated utility service or generator, which will run all the time?
A high quality PV solar system is an investment for life. Do you have a budget in mind? Will you need to obtain a loan?
What is the estimated time frame by which you would like to have your solar power system installed?
