Off Grid
Living and Working Off-Grid with Solar
If you’re looking to power an off-grid home, cabin, or remote worksite with clean, renewable energy, an off-grid solar system may be the perfect solution. With a fully battery-based off-grid solar power system, your solar array becomes your primary energy source — generating, storing, and supplying reliable electricity around the clock, completely independent of the utility grid.
Soltari designs custom off-grid solar and battery systems built to your exact energy needs. From small off-grid solar kits for weekend cabins to full off-grid solar systems for year-round homes, we engineer every installation for dependable performance, long-term value, and true freedom from the grid. Our off-grid solar installations across California — including off-grid solar systems in Santa Cruz and Santa Cruz County — are backed by expert craftsmanship and premium off-grid solar products you can count on.
How Off-Grid Solar Works
Off-grid solar electric systems are designed to collect, store, and deliver electricity with zero dependence on the utility grid. During daylight hours, your solar panels for off-grid living charge your battery bank while simultaneously powering your home's electrical loads. During periods of high demand, low light, or nighttime, your battery storage takes over to keep everything running. For homes in regions with short winter days or extended cloudy weather, a backup generator can be added to your off-grid solar power system to keep batteries topped up and your power uninterrupted — ensuring your off-grid solar energy supply is always dependable.
Off-Grid Systems: Large or Small
Whether you need a small off-grid solar system for a weekend camp or a full off-grid solar system for a year-round residence, our design specialists will engineer the best off-grid solar power system for your lifestyle and location. From off-grid solar panel kits for compact cabins to complete off-grid home solar systems with robust battery storage, we size and customize every solution to match your actual energy demands. No matter the scale, Soltari delivers the best off-grid solar system packages with batteries — built to last, designed to perform.
Living with an Off-Grid Solar System
The average grid-tied home in the US consumes around 30 kWh per day — a load that's typically not practical for most off-grid solar systems. Successfully living off the grid with solar means making smart energy choices. Most Soltari off-grid customers choose propane or wood for space heating and water heating, while their off-grid solar panels handle receptacle loads, well pumps, lighting, and refrigeration with ease. With the right off-grid solar system design and a few lifestyle adjustments, solar off-grid living becomes not just achievable — but genuinely rewarding. The best solar generator for off-grid living is a complete system tailored to you, and that's exactly what Soltari delivers.
