This is my favorite DIY solar project that we have had much success with. Since installing this hybrid system at my own home, we have only paid an average of $3/month to the grid for hot water! The payback time for this system is much quicker than most solar projects.
’ve been helping this customer with their off-grid infrastructure in a cold-climate cabin near the Canadian border. This new project was to provide solar power for loads, hot water, and radiant floor heating. Future projects will involve additional solar and hopefully wind turbines!
A garage-type building was added to the property with just the right size, location, and roof pitch to maximize their solar production. We were able to perfectly fit a 3×14 solar array onto this roof, with 6 of the panels being used for off-grid air conditioning. The panels were dressed with ferrite suppressors to protect the system from an EMP

We installed a completely off-grid solar air conditioning system with 75 SEER rating at this beautiful European-style home. We used the ACDC12C Solar Air conditioners found on our site that do not require any grid power to run.
We designed and installed a solar irrigation system for Komatsu Corporation that will keep their grass green and their running costs low.
