Is off-grid right for you?

Off-grid is the right answer for some properties and the wrong one for many. Here’s how to tell.

Off-grid often makes sense when

  • No utility line reaches your property
  • Extending power lines would cost more than a solar system
  • You need power at a remote well, barn, shop, or cabin
  • Your co-op pays very little for power you send back to the grid

Staying connected is usually better when

  • A utility line already serves your home
  • You want the lowest total cost
  • You want backup power, not full independence

Off-grid is a different design from grid-connected solar with a battery. It needs more panels and more battery, because there’s no grid to fall back on.

How we design it

Four steps, and you see everything in writing.

1

List what you run

Appliances, pumps, tools, lights. We help you build the list and add up the power.

2

Size for the hardest weeks

Not the average day. We design around short winter days and cloudy stretches.

3

Plan for backup generation

If it makes sense, a generator covers long cloudy stretches, so the battery bank doesn’t have to be oversized.

4

Get it in writing

Your proposal shows the total cost, what the system should produce, and what it can and can’t run.

Where off-grid power fits

A few common situations.

Remote home or cabin

Full-time or weekend power where the grid doesn’t reach.

Well pump and water

Reliable water for a home, livestock, or irrigation.

Barn or shop

Lights, tools, and equipment without running new utility service.

Farm and ranch

Power for the places on your land that are far from the meter.

Electric co-op members

Many Oklahoma electric co-ops pay far less for power you send back than they charge for power you use. If that’s your situation, we can compare grid-connected solar, solar with a battery, and off-grid side by side, so you can see which one makes sense.

What to send us

  • What you want to power
  • Your property address or location
  • Your current power source, if any

What it costs

Every off-grid system is different, so we quote each one custom, based on what you need to power.
