Live life unplugged. Live life independent.
Off-grid living is becoming increasingly popular across Texas. With the rise in energy costs, grid insecurity, and the high cost of connecting utility infrastructure to rural property’s, many Texans are moving to complete grid independence.
Off-Grid Solar in East Texas
More accessible than ever
The dream of off-grid living is now closer to a reality than ever in Texas. Recent solar and battery storage advancements mean current systems have far more capacity, but cost a LOT less than just 2-3 years ago. While off-grid power comes with a higher up-front price tag, imagine not having a monthly electric bill, or concerns about the escalating costs of grid power. And because you’re not connected to the grid, you have no worries about it going down…ever.
For some, off-grid power is the only option. In other cases, it's a choice between spending $10,000s to get the grid to your homestead, and still have all the disadvantages of being tied to it, or applying those dollars to an off-grid system. It all starts with a consultation to review your property’s total electrical demand, make recommendations on appliances, HAVC, septic and water supply. Only then are we able to design and estimate the cost for a system to achieve true energy freedom and independence.
If financed, the monthly payments are often lower than an electric bill.
Designing robust and resilient systems
Systems that handle any situation
Rule of thumb in the off-grid world, ‘it’s better to have more power than you need, then need more power than you have.’ This is a rule that has served us well over the years, and we have the track record to show it.
As part of your system design, we will calculate peak loads for the property, basing systems on max demand as well as average demand. Estimating your 24-hour usage, we pair the solar energy production with enough battery storage to take the home through the night with power to spare.
To increase resilience a fail-safe integrated generator system for rapid battery charging is added. Intended only in emergencies, our system design integrates an automatic start generator for rapid battery charging should batteries become critically low.
The transfer is seamless and effective, with batteries charged in just a few hours, requiring minimal propane usage.
