What Does Going Off-Grid Involve?

Weighing The Pros And Cons Of Off-Grid Systems

The Pros:

  • Complete energy independence.
  • Resilience during and after natural disasters.
  • Allows power in places unreachable by the grid.

The Cons:

  • More expensive than grid-tied options.
  • Oversized for most of the year, with no way to export excess energy.
  • Load reduction is usually needed (you have to be mindful of the total electrical loads you will have).

When We Recommend Off-Grid

  • Remote locations where the grid connection is impractical or too expensive.

  • New developments without grid access.
