Going off-grid with solar-plus-storage
We understand the appeal of going off-grid with a solar-plus-storage installation. Unfortunately, severing ties entirely with utility companies isn’t feasible for most people given the additional costs, equipment, and intricacies required.
Pros of off-grid systems | Cons of off-grid systems |
No electric bill | No net metering |
Power during grid outages | More complicated install; often not cost-effective |
Great for remote properties far removed from utility service | Premium equipment options not always available |

Can I get quotes for an off-grid system on EnergySage?
