Start with your daily budget
Every off-grid system is sized from one number: the watt-hours you use in a day. Our Power Budget Planning guide shows how to find it, and the Off-Grid Solar Calculator turns it into panels and battery capacity.
Plan for the worst week of the year
Solar covers most days, but winter and long cloudy stretches leave a gap. Reliable off-grid systems stack three layers so a bad week never becomes a blackout.
Layer 1: Solar
About 80% of yearly energy
Layer 2: Generator
About 15% · Winter and cloudy stretches
Layer 3: Reserves
About 5% · Vehicle charging, spare battery
