Off Grid Solar

Off-grid solar systems are entirely independent of the public electricity grid. These systems generate electricity from solar panels, store it in batteries, and provide power to homes or businesses that do not have access to the traditional grid, or for those who want complete energy autonomy.

 

– **Key Features**:

  – Fully self-sufficient, no reliance on utility companies.

  – Energy storage via batteries, ensuring power is available at night or during cloudy periods.

  – Ideal for remote locations or areas with unreliable grid access.

  

– **Advantages**:

  – Complete independence from utility bills.

  – Perfect for rural or remote areas.

  – Greater control over your energy use.

Grid-Tied Solar

Grid-tied solar systems are connected to the public electricity grid, allowing users to draw power from both solar panels and the grid. When solar panels produce more electricity than is needed, the excess can be sent back to the grid, often resulting in credits from the utility company (a process known as net metering).

 

– **Key Features**:

  – Connected to the utility grid for backup power.

  – No need for battery storage, which reduces initial setup costs.

  – Excess energy can be fed back to the grid for financial credits.

 

– **Advantages**:

  – Lower upfront costs since there’s no need for batteries.

  – Reliable power since the grid acts as a backup.

  – Potential to earn from excess electricity production.

 

– **Challenges**:

  – No power during grid outages unless paired with a backup solution.

  – Still reliant on utility companies to some extent.

Hybrid Solar

Hybrid solar systems combine the best of both worlds: they are connected to the grid, but also have battery storage to store excess power for later use. This setup allows users to switch between solar, battery power, and grid power as needed, making it an ideal solution for people who want energy independence but also want to stay connected to the grid for backup.

 

– **Key Features**:

  – Solar panels generate electricity, and excess energy is stored in batteries or fed back to the grid.

  – Can switch between battery storage, solar, and grid power.

  – Power is available even during grid outages.

 

– **Advantages**:

  – Flexibility to store energy or feed it back into the grid.

  – Backup power during outages with the help of batteries.

  – Lower reliance on utility companies while still having access to grid power.

Very happy with our off grid installation by Firebear/Off Grid Essentials. A fully permitted install with the county that had us (literally) flip the switch off of PG&E and on to fully independent power with batteries.We managed to get the install done without requiring any PG&E interconnect delays or NEM agreements by using a 3-way switch ([Grid] - [Off] - [Solar+Battery]). This also kept the grid as an option for an emergency situation for the minor cost of $11/mo (minimum PG&E charge) which beats needing a full home generator that never gets turned on!Thanks to the switch we kept the house at a cool 70-71 degrees during the middle of summer this year (and cool 67 in the bedroom at night), while also being able to charge our EV! Honestly we're trying to find ways to consume more power just so it doesn't go to waste after the batteries are full!

PG&E power just went out at my house for the third time this summer. I was watching tv and didn’t even notice. The lights, tv and air conditioner were all on and there wasn’t even a flicker. Thanks Firebear at Off Grid Essentials for installing my inverter, solar panels and battery. I am always up and running 24 hours a day. The installation process was quick and stress free. This system has almost eliminated my PG&E usage too. Thanks.

His direction helped us tremendously! We were trying to go off the grid and it was impossible to find anyone. He came out and got us set up with the right equipment and had it all ordered and delivered ahead of schedule. Great dude, definitely someone you want setting up your system.

Thanks to them during yet another power outage in our city we were able to plug in all 3 of our fridge/freezers, not knowing when the power might come back on, but confident in the knowledge that the power truck they helped us with would take care of $100’s of not $1000+ worth of fresh and frozen food! The next step is that they will help us use this Power Truck full time for some essentials in our home! Their knowledge and expertise in all things solar as well as “off grid” solutions is second to none!

super happy with the installation, great service and a great set-up. everything was done on schedule, he always checked with us about important decisions and found creative and effective solutions, resolved unexpected hick-ups and emerging changes in design. Unmatched!

I have hired a tremendous number of companies and laborers to work on my house and property this year. Of all of these, FireBear was the outstanding, consummate professional. Best service, best price, lightning fast installation, and a stellar, personable demeanor. Highly knowledgeable, punctual, and availing after job is completed if there are any further questions. Easy to see there is pride in workmanship. TY, FireBear, I love my solar dual swing gate opener and my dusk-to-Dawn pillar lights and drive up metal posts with entry/exit keypads. I feel like I’m back in L.A.! Greatly appreciated! A job meticulously done! Bravo!👏🏻-Dawn L. Bricker
