OFF GRID LIVING - Solar Power and Battery System (Why Go Off-Grid? How Does It Work?)

This Cedar Creek family engaged Springers Solar to assist them with the design and installation of an off-grid solar and battery system for a tiny home they are building on their rural property.
Off-grid power was an obvious solution to our customers for both their primary home and the tiny home. The family stands by their choice, saying that off-grid power has been a reliable source of energy and more than covers their electricity needs. Backed by the Springers Solar after-sales support team, the family says they don’t need to stress about ongoing maintenance or emergency repairs in case of power failure.
Our off-grid specialists designed a solar and battery DC-coupled system that would more than meet the occupants' daily energy requirements. After working with the customer to determine their expected energy needs, a 3.4kW ‪@TrinasolarPV‬ array and a 16kWh ‪@powerplusenergy1694‬ battery storage system were installed on the premises. ‪@VictronEnergyBV‬ off-grid components were selected for reliable power conversion.
This tiny home is now capable of producing electricity 100% off-grid, ready for use once the tiny home’s owners move in.

Nice. Definitely looks like a place where you'd want to stay off the grid.

[@springers]

It certainly is! Thanks for the watch.

20+ years off grid and if you need someone else to install and do maintenance on your system if it breaks down that is not self-sufficient. If you can't get parts locally and fast and you will have to spend a lot to get them then that is not self-sufficient. If you have to take out a loan and pay interest over many years to get that system that is not self-sufficient.

Hi, thanks for your comment. We aren't here to compare or judge the measure of someone's self-sufficiency. This video is to educate how self-sufficient power can be achieved with a well-designed, professional solar and battery system. It is smart and recommended to engage with experts who can design a system that will be trouble-free long term and provide the right amount of power for a homeowner's specific needs. Unless you are an electrician, it is not recommended to install your own solar and battery system. These systems are complex and important to get right. We taught our customers how to monitor their system and troubleshoot issues so they are largely self-sufficient, but if more serious issues were to arise, we are local and can provide service and parts quickly. Thanks :)

Then you completely misunderstand what "self sufficient" means mate!
