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?

Unfortunately, the large majority of our installer partners only work with grid-tied systems (which you can add a backup battery to!) If you want a true off-grid system, your best bet will be to reach out to companies that specialize in those sorts of setups directly.
