Frequently asked questions.

what is an off grid system exactly?

An off grid system is a self contained power system that is not connected to the electrical grid. it generates stores and distributes its own electricity using sources such as solar panels, water turbines, wind turbines, generators and batteries.

how much power can an off grid system generate?

the amount of power that an off grid system can generate depends on the size of the system, the capacity of the energy storage system, and the amount of production potential the unique site has. with those factors considered, systems can be desinged and implimented to accomodate any demand from basic dc power to three phase industrial applications .

Are there incentives or tax credits for off grid systems?

the Investment tax credit is a great program that can limit the out of pocket cost of your off grid system by as much as 30%. learn more about that here . it is important to review these programs with a financial advisor or tax specialist to ensure that you are eligible.

What geographical Areas do you serve?

our installation services are limited to within the state of maine, however general consultation is available worldwide and online sales will ship anywhere in the continental united states.

How reliable is an off grid system?

The capability and reliability of an off-grid system can vary greatly depending on several factors, including the size and type of system, the quality of the components used, and the location and usage conditions. Generally, an off-grid system that is properly designed and installed can provide a reliable source of power. Furthermore, off-grid systems can be subject to weather-related disruptions, and maintenance may be required to ensure continued operation. To maximize the reliability and capability of an off-grid system, it is important to consult with an experienced provider and carefully consider the specific needs and conditions of the site.

What are the Benefits of an off grid system?

Off-grid refers to a system of generating electricity using solar panels or other means that are not connected to the traditional electrical grid.

The benefits of off-grid solar systems include:


  • Independence from the electrical grid: Off-grid solar systems allow for independence from the electrical grid, which can be particularly useful in rural or remote areas where access to the grid is limited or unavailable.


  • Reduced Energy Costs: Off-grid solar systems can result in reduced energy costs, as the energy produced by the system can be used directly, without the need to pay for transmission and distribution costs.


  • Reliability: Off-grid solar systems can provide a reliable source of electricity, as they are not subject to power outages that may occur on the electrical grid.


  • Environmental Sustainability: Solar energy is a clean and renewable energy source, so off-grid solar systems can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help mitigate the impacts of climate change as well as limit or eliminate entirely the users dependence upon outside energy sources


It's important to note that off-grid solar systems may not be suitable for everyone, as they require significant upfront investment, and their effectiveness is dependent on local weather conditions and the amount of sunlight available, so careful planning and design is necessary to ensure the system meets the user's needs.
