solar: off-grid


  Solar Power, A Wise Energy Investment.   A Solar Electric Power System can provide electricity to both utility connected and non-connected homes. Elemental Energy, Inc. has years of experience providing power to remote homes that are beyond the power lines (off-grid).   In some cases homes that are as little as 1000 feet away from existing power lines can be economically powered by an on-site solar power system. Often, the money saved by not installing a utility line to a new home sight can offset the cost of the solar power system.  Then, there are no bills and no inconvenient and sometimes costly power outages.

Quality Components.   Our solar home power systems are designed using only the highest quality components available, and each system design uses a matched set of components that will operate effectively together giving you simple, trouble free operation for years to come. The MX-60 maximum power point charge control boosts solar output, resulting in up to 30% more delivered energy. The KS series industrial batteries are designed for a 20-year life, and the large single cells mean less maintenance and more effective energy storage. All of our systems use the FX series inverters for the cleanest sine wave output. This, along with the Outback Flexware integrated control panels, makes our systems safe, reliable, simple to use and easy to maintain.

Efficiency, the key to success.  The key to the successful use of an off-grid solar home power system is to take advantage of highly efficient appliances, heating systems and lighting options that are compatible with on-site power systems. An average American home uses as much as 4-5 times the electricity needed to provide equal comfort in a house that is designed to be electrically efficient. By choosing efficiency first, you will be able to live comfortably and save money by installing a smaller home power system. Elemental Energy, Inc. can advise your energy efficient appliance and lighting choices.

Incentives.  Some benefits of installing an Off-Grid Solar Electric Power System are:
  • Off-grid solar electric power systems are very reliable, and will deliver constant electricity to your home with no outages
  • once installed there are no monthly bills for your electric power needs
  • producing your own electricity using a home based power system allows you to choose clean renewable solar energy, instead of having to accept fossil-fuels or nuclear-generated electricity from the local utility
  • the independence of producing your own electricity, free from the stress of rising energy costs or unstable electricity prices

What will it cost?  For a free estimate of the cost of a solar electric system for your home or business give us a call so we can tell you our turn-around time, and then send us a completed questionnaire.  Download the questionnaire as either an MS Word document (56KB) or the PDF version (100KB).
