Energy for later

Reliable backup power

A generator provides a reliable backup energy source for the darkest winter days.

Track your system

Real-time monitoring allows you to track your system's status from any smart device.

PRICING

An honest look at off-grid costs

Going off-grid means sizing your system right the first time. Most off-grid quotes are wildly inaccurate because installers guess at your power needs. We measure your actual usage and design around that. No oversized systems, no surprise costs, and more importantly, no running out of power in the dead of winter.

Example Pricing

  • Tiny home systems (10 KWh): $20,000 and range to $30,000
  • Cabin systems (20 KWh): $25,000 and range to $40,000
  • Larger home systems (40 KWh): $40,000 and range to $75,000
