Independence Starts Here

We assist you from beginning to end!

We start with a consultation to evaluate your needs for power, water, and AC, crafting a solar system tailored specifically to your homestead.

Using 3D renderings and simulated production reports, you’ll see exactly how the system integrates into your space. 

Once the design is finalized, we ship all materials to your site, including solar inverters, energy storage, solar modules, and module racking. 

Choose from DIY installation with our expert support or a turnkey service for complete ease 

(turnkey services available for projects within our installation range). 

After installation, enjoy ongoing system support and remote system monitoring through the MySol-ark app. 

Stay connected with us through our community on Facebook and YouTube for updates, tips, and virtual system management. 

Our team at work

This video highlights the importance of proper system design and installation, especially in areas prone to power outages.

"Thank you for the sales and support you provided. My wife and I are very pleased with our system, its proposed, and actual performance; for my location, orientation, and tree cover. That notwithstanding, we are 100% self reliant and that’s important to us."

"We turned to Scott Hunt with Practical Preppers in South Carolina to assist with our design selections...Scott prepared the specifications, and based on his experience in installations of this system prepared a complete order for the solar portion of the system, as well as providing the mini-split systems for the 3 cabins. Buying from a company with hands-on installation experience was a huge benefit in this circumstance."

"I purchased [my solar project supplies] from Scott Hunt, owner of Practical Preppers LLC as a complete package. He provided everything but the concrete and wire (although he did provide all of the project-specific cables for the batteries and panels which greatly simplified the build). Everything was shipped to my home via truck freight and arrived in a very timely manner... If you're looking for any sort of alternative energy, water, or other such non-typical, self-sufficiency types of projects, I urge to you check them out. There are lots of businesses out there doing these things in what is a hot and growing industry, but going through someone who lives the life, and isn't just tapping into a lucrative market segment, carries a big weight with me."

"Practical Preppers is an excellent source for knowledge and equipment for off-grid or self-sustained living. Scott has an extensive background in the field including resourcing water and providing energy via solar and water. I highly recommend them."

Why Solar?

Scott Hunt, mechanical engineer and nationally recognized preparedness expert, founded Practical Preppers® out of a passion for helping families achieve independence and security in an unstable world.

For us, solar is playing a big part of an even bigger goal: to have a completely self-sustainable home. When we design solar systems, we’re planning provisions not only for power, but also for running water, hot water, heating/cooling, etc. We discuss all these things during our first consultation meeting.
