See how we helped a client transition from old and under-performing lead-acid batteries to modern, high-endurance lithium iron phosphate chemistry without the high cost, complexity, and wastage.

Yes, we can almost always repair a piece of equipment. But should you? How we answer the “to repair or to replace” question by evaluating the total cost of ownership (TCO).

You security camera system may turn into a security risk! From storage options and cybersecurity to network planning, here’s what you need to know. 

A phased approach to bring a defunct off-grid solar system back to life — saving $10k in equipment and setting it up for future expansion.

If your off-grid solar system struggles to meet your power needs even if you believe you should have enough capacity, or if you’re getting eye-watering SCE bills without much to show for it… this could be the culprit.

3 reasons why cheap lithium batteries cost you more in the long-run.

Learn the key factors affecting the actual cost of batteries. See a. head-to-head dollar per kWh per year comparison of lead-acid vs. LFP to see which one is a better deal. (There’s a clear winner!)

How we helped a client boost solar production to meet winter needs in just a week while setting the stage for her future plans.

To dimension an off-grid solar solution accurately, you must address your surge power requirements to get the power output you need without paying for the capacity you don’t use.

Understand what causes an off-grid solar inverter to beep. Learn how to address the alarm quickly and diagnose the issue to implement a long-term solution.

Learn what energy independence means, how to avoid common illusions of energy independence, and the critical fist step to start your journey to energy independence.

Top 7 reasons we prefer low-voltage systems, and how we help our clients maximize the pros and minimize the cons of this approach.

See how we use data from the solar charge controller (SCC) app and solar trajectory chart to help a client double his solar production by making simple data-based adjustments.

Start your off-grid solar project now to lock in equipment cost and build resiliency.

We examine the advantages of running your RV on solar and explore the top from-the-trenches tips to help you get the most out of your system.

LFP batteries are great, except they don't work well in cold weather. For off-grid solar solutions in warm rural area where temperatures may drop below freezing only a few times a year, our cold-temperature-tolerant pack lets you have your cake and eat it too.

If your existing systems have these issues, don’t spend more on outdated measures because you’ll only multiply the inefficiencies. If someone tries to sell you a system with these telltale signs of being stuck in 1999, run the other way.

Follow this 8-point checklist to ensure your off-grid solar system is set up properly to minimize the risks of fire, electric shocks, thermal runaway, etc.

We helped this client design and implement a basic solar solution for his cabin that will grow with him as he builds his ranch.

Traditional battery technology has many constraints. But we can make battery packs do what's deemed impossible by industry veterans with some software magic. Explore three off-grid solar use cases to see what's possible.
