How to Build a Solar Powered Golf Cart with a Solar Roof!
Are solar-powered cars still just a dream? You tell me. We did however manage to make a golf cart that is completely regenerative. We never
We are passionate about helping families achieve their goals of sustainable living — be it through renewable water systems, solar systems, & more. Each of our projects is a representation of high-quality engineering, collaboration, and passion. We hope that you too will be inspired by these projects to pursue a more clean, independent, and sustainable lifestyle.

This exciting project brought us a dairy farm belonging to some folks who want to escape expensive Time of Use rates ($12…yes 12 dollars per kWh!) from their utility company
This remote home in Michigan won’t see a power line for miles! It was very important for this family to have a reliable off-grid power system that would uphold even in the extreme snowy conditions that Michigan can get.
As this family began making preparations to build their dream home on a 100 acre property in Alabama, they turned to us to ensure that their remote home could be completely run on solar power.
Today we are installing a PV direct (no batteries required) pond aeration system for a client in North Carolina that we’ve worked with before on multiple PV direct systems. We are doing this because they have recently experienced a lot fish kills in their pond. Learn more and watch the full installation video
We took things to the next level by designing and installing an off grid infrastructure for our customer’s shelter. With a well-planned, off grid infrastructure, this happy customer will continue to have things like power, septic, communications, and hot running water even if utilities companies are forced to shut down.
A Presbyterian church in Georgia requested a solar system to lower the running costs of their facility. We installed a grid-tied 10 kW ground mount solar system to get the job done!
We designed this 17 kW solar system to take this homeowner completely off the grid, although connection to the grid is always available. The Sol-Ark 12k solar inverter, generator, and batteries all work together seamlessly with Sol-Ark’s auto generator start function.
We design and install off-grid solar systems across the nation. This job brought us to Louisiana where we installed an 11.2 kw off grid ground mount solar system using our trusted Sol-Ark 8k inverter! This system features a 1050 Ah battery back-up that’s charged by a PTO generator.
A quick 2-day installation for a grid-tied solar system on a new construction using enphase microinverters. Enphase gives users the option for AC coupling or adding batteries later on down the road as the budget allows.
In this article we are going to focus in on the hydronic system we designed that heats, cools, and provides hot water for this home.
We updated this homestead’s existing water system with the capabilities to supply water to 2 tiny homes and livestock. The well pump system runs on solar and has plenty of backups to guarantee flowing water at all times!
This homeowner contacted us for a 4.6 kW hybrid system with EMP hardening. See the finished product and more detailed features on the Sol-Ark 8k transformerless inverter in the video!
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.
An 11.1 kW grid tie solar system with ground mounting. The PLP Power Peak ground mount is infinitely adjustable and left us with 30 perfectly aligned panels. The system looks even better when you consider that our customer won’t see another power bill for the rest of his life
The Cowboys and Angels Ranch is a nonprofit ministry dedicated to the life of Lacee Michaela Dial. We designed and installed a solar irrigation system with the option to change from pressurized to gravity-fed at the switch of a single valve. We also installed a solar pump in conjunction with the existing grid pump that allows the owners to change from grid tie to solar well pumping with a simple switch.
