Off-Grid Systems range from a few watts PV (photovoltaic solar electric) for DC lights and appliances for weekend seasonal cabins to full-time year-round homes with large true sine wave inverters (inverters change DC electricity from battery storage to AC electricity... electricity from the utility grid and most household appliances is/use true sine wave AC electricity.) Costs range fron a a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. Energy equipment might include solar,wind and/or a fossil fuel generator.

 

Each application has unique requirements in terms of power needs, length of wire runs, mounting spaces/terrain, etc. Each site needs to be evaluated to determine its solar and wind resources. The following examples are just that... examples, not quotes for your specific application. Prices are subject to change without notice.
