Energy Audits
The first step towards using renewable energy is an energy audit. An energy audit will tell you how much energy you consume. Together we will list the appliances you use, how often you use them, and how much power they require. We will discuss and document how you use energy, what time of day the most energy is consumed, and how does your consumption level varies throughout the week. We will have an honest discussion about what you can and can not live without, and how you could reduce your power consumption, and what your realistic power budget will be.
Site Analysis
Each site has unique features, advantages and challenges. Sun, shade, wind speeds, availability of water, are all variables that will impact the design and effectiveness of a renewable power system. OFF-GRID will visit your physical location and identify the obstacles and benefits that the local environment presents. All of these factors will be explained to you and taken into account when OFF-GRID designs your power system.
Information Sharing
OFF-GRID makes it a point to keep current with the fast changing alternative energy industry. Technology and system components are evolving every day and present many alternatives in terms of cost and efficiency. If you simply want your power system designed, installed and maintained so that it is as transparent as possible to you, OFF-GRID will be happy to do that! If you want to really learn about your alternative power system, how and why it works, and how to maintain it, OFF-GRID will involve you in every aspect of designing and building your renewabe energy plan. We believe that individual owner involvement is the key to the ultimate success of using alternative power and OFF-GRID is happy to share knowledge and learning obtained from years of experience living with alternative power systems.
Power System Design & Installation
The energy audit and site analysis will be combined with the level of participation you want to have with your energy to clarify what renewable energy systems to include or exclude from your system. The system design will also consider the financial resources you have available to build a renewable power system. Alternative power systems can be built up a piece at a time in multiple phases. OFF-GRID can help you find both a way to get started, and to complete your system in affordable increments. OFF-GRID will recommend and negotiate for the best price on the equipment for your renewable energy system. When installation is complete you will have a user friendly, safe and certified energy system.
System Maintenance
OFF-GRID will monitor your renewable energy system for you to insure that all components are functioning at peak levels. OFF-GRID will make site visits to maintain your system throughout the year, or make service calls on an as needed basis. We will insure that your system has clean contacts and maximum efficiency and let you know when a piece of equipment will need to be repaired or replaced. OFF-GRID also provides renewable energy system trouble shooting and analysis for existing systems built by you or others.
