Off-Grid Cabin & Homestead

With no utility connection, the system carries the whole load on its own. Start from a complete kit, or build it up part by part.

Start from your loads, or ask for a quote

The off-grid sizing calculator gives you a starting point. A quote request goes to altE's technical team, who check it before anything ships.

How the system fits together

Five jobs a standalone system has to cover. Not a purchase order — compatibility depends on the specific models, not the order you add them to the cart.

  1. 01 Generate Panels sized against your worst month, not your annual average.
  2. 02 Control A charge controller, unless your inverter has MPPT built in.
  3. 03 Store The battery bank — what decides how long you run after dark.
  4. 04 Convert An off-grid or hybrid inverter to make 120/240 V.
  5. 05 Back up A generator and transfer switch for the stretch without sun.

Cold-weather charging

Lithium chemistries have a minimum charging temperature. Whether a battery can charge in an unheated building depends on that model's own limits and whether it has internal heating.

Book an hour with a technician to work your loads and parts list through. Browsing and buying never require it.
