Resilient Grid-Independent + Off-Grid Solar Solutions for Rural Homes and Properties
There are many paths to energy independence.
No matter where you are, it comes down to this: are you in control or leaving it to chance?
Rural grid-tied properties are susceptible to multi-day utility outages, putting everything from irrigation and food preservation to human and animal health at risk. Meanwhile, modern solar technology has advanced — flipping the financial case for going off-grid vs. spending tens of thousands to run a power line (and you still have to pay a big fat electricity bill every month).
Whether you’re building an off-grid property, boosting the resilience of your existing grid setup, converting grid-tied solar to a grid-independent solution, or upgrading an existing off-grid system, we help you achieve energy independence with a resilient, reliable solution.

Whole-Property Energy Resilience Solutions
Custom-engineered whole-property off-grid solar
A new build is the perfect opportunity to do it once and do it right. We custom-engineer the solution based on your load requirements, usage pattern, and growth plan to handle everything from HVAC and well pumps to appliances and power tools for no-compromise full-time rural living.
Resilience solution for utility customers
Our grid-independent solar solutions work uninterrupted during outages and slash your monthly power bills. The grid shoulders the occasional large draw to lower solar costs, while your own energy infrastructure supports the day-to-day load for energy independence.
Grid-independent conversion for grid-tied systems
Net-metering isn’t what it used to be. Feeding the grid, paying for nighttime usage, and still being affected by prolonged outages isn’t a fair deal. We convert your grid-tied system to a grid-independent solution, lowering your power bills and protecting your property against outages.
Off-grid solar enhancement
Older systems often suffer from insufficient production, aging batteries, drifted settings, and safety issues. Many aren’t dimensioned for today’s lifestyle and appliances. We troubleshoot, fine-tune, and modernize systems so that they can keep up with demands.
We do solar differently
What does it look like when you work with us?
We custom engineer every solution
Typical grid-tied solar installers use a one-size-fits-most approach because if the system comes up short, the grid fills the gap, and you pay for the power. As such, they can get by with a rough guess, and consumers are conditioned to accept that close enough is good enough.
But for off-grid and grid-independent solar, just “good enough to get by and move on” isn’t good enough. A mis-dimensioned system has nothing to hide behind, and the sloppiness will come back to bite us. That's why we engineer every solution around a client's specific load distribution, terrain, and growth plan to ensure a no-surprise experience.
