Off-grid & remote power
Off-grid power systems engineered for the worst week, not the best month.
True off-grid and grid-optional power, solar arrays sized for winter, serious battery banks, and generator backup for the dark weeks. Engineered systems, not kits.
What’s included
- Solar arrays sized to worst-month production, not annual average
- LiFePO4 battery banks sized for 2–3 days of autonomy
- Generator integration for the economical last stretch of demand
$15,000–$25,000
Cabin systems
$40,000–$80,000+
Full-home systems
2–3 days
Autonomy target
Off-grid & remote power
Off-grid design starts with a number most people have never calculated.
The daily kilowatt-hours you're committing to live on drives everything else: array size against December sun, battery bank against cloudy stretches, generator runtime against the residual demand. Honest systems begin with honest load budgets.
We build the whole stack, solar arrays mounted and angled for winter production, LiFePO4 battery banks sized for real autonomy, inverter and charger systems with generator integration, and the load-side discipline that keeps the numbers rational.
- Load budget calculated for every circuit, every season, in kWh/day
- Solar sized to worst-month production, not annual average
- Battery sized for 2–3 days autonomy at realistic depth of discharge
- Generator sized for the residual, the economical last 5%
Off-grid & remote power
Not every home needs to be fully off-grid to get the same peace of mind.
Grid-optional design, solar plus a substantial battery plus islanding capability, keeps utility convenience while still surviving indefinite outages. It's the right call for most homes; true off-grid is reserved for properties the grid doesn't reach at all.
Monitoring is built into every system so you see developing problems a week before they become an emergency, not after the pipes freeze.
- Grid-optional design for most homes with utility access
- True off-grid design for remote and unserved properties
- Monitoring that surfaces problems early
- Generator sizing that keeps the battery bank economical
Common questions
What does a real off-grid system cost?
Modest cabins start around $15,000–$25,000; full-home off-grid with winter-capable arrays and generator backup typically runs $40,000–$80,000+. The load budget you commit to drives everything.
Can my grid-connected home go 'off-grid capable' instead?
Yes, grid-optional (solar plus substantial battery plus islanding) keeps utility convenience while surviving indefinite outages. It's the right call for most homes; true off-grid is for where the grid isn't.
How do off-grid homes handle a dark week?
Honestly, with a generator. Sizing batteries for the worst week of the year is uneconomic; a propane generator covering the residual 5% keeps the battery bank rational.
