Off-Grid Solar Systems

Go completely independent from the grid. Off-Grid systems provide reliable power in remote areas, holiday homes, or anywhere you want full energy autonomy.

What is an Off-Grid System?

Unlike Net Billing or Net Metering systems, Off-Grid solar systems are not connected to the EAC grid. Instead, they combine:

  • Solar panels to generate electricity.

  • A hybrid inverter/charger.

  • A battery bank for energy storage.

  • Optional backup generator.

💡 This means you can produce, store, and use your own energy without depending on the utility grid.

Advantages

  • 100% energy independence.

  • No reliance on EAC tariffs or policies.

  • Ideal for remote locations without grid access.

  • With enough battery, full autonomy year-round.

Disadvantages

  • Highest upfront cost (large batteries required).

  • Risk of energy shortage during long cloudy periods if not sized correctly.

  • No income from exporting energy (completely isolated).

  • Requires very accurate load study.

 FAQs

  • Off-Grid systems are ideal for remote areas without grid access (cabins, farms, mountain houses), but also for homeowners who want complete energy independence

  • Yes. With proper design, Off-Grid systems can cover all household loads — lighting, appliances, air conditioning, even pool pumps — as long as the inverter and battery capacity are correctly sized.

  • We calculate your daily and seasonal energy consumption and design the system (panels + inverter + battery) to match your needs, ensuring enough autonomy year-round.

  • Modern lithium batteries typically last 10–15 years (over 6,000 cycles), with warranties from 5 to 10 years depending on the brand.

  • Item descriptionHybrid systems stay connected to the EAC grid and sell excess energy under Net Billing.

    • Off-Grid systems are completely independent — they produce, store, and use energy without grid connection.

  • Yes, if you use a hybrid inverter/charger, you can remain Off-Grid but still have the option to connect to the grid in the future.

  • Very little. Panels only need occasional cleaning. Batteries and inverters require minimal supervision, and we provide full monitoring and after-sales support.
