Off-Grid – Solar Technology Alabama

People are interested in off-grid power for a variety of reasons.

Some build a house so far from the power lines that solar power is the economical option. Others make a conscious decision to break their grid-addictions and live a simpler, less complicated life. But most just want an option.

This is not your daddy’s USA, and not all of the changes are for the better.

But 90% of our customers don’t really want to live off-grid. They are on the property and in the house they want to live in forever. They understand the trap of grid dependency and want an option. Instead of going off-grid, they keep their utility meter and we provide a stand-alone solar power system that provides them with the option to stay in their house indefinitely – WITHOUT the grid.

Most of our customers live in formally “grid-dependent” homes. Solar provides power to the core of the house. Food refrigeration, water pumping, lighting, tool charging, water heating, other necessities and some amenities are all powered by solar.
NOTE: Solar can’t heat your home, but there are other renewable energy sources that can. All involve burning something.

The smallest of these off-grid systems charge batteries for radios, flash-lights, security lights, and other small appliances. A moderately sized system can make your home very comfortable and livable during an extended power outage.

At your option, an off-grid system can feed excess power to the grid and “pay down” your investment. However, the term “return-on-investment” does not enter the discussion. What will a life boat be worth when the ship sinks and you are swimming with sharks?
