Why Off Grid Engineering is the preferred choice.
As off grid installation experts, our knowledge, experience and passion in all things off-grid sets us apart from our competition
Off-Grid Specialists
Our specialisation in off-grid systems gives us the upper hand when it comes to having the knowledge and experience required to ensure you have an uninterrupted power supply 24/7, 365 days of the year. This reliability in power supply comes from the integration of solar PV, batteries and a generator, installed by highly skilled specialist engineers.
Bespoke System
Everyone is unique. Whatever your lifestyle, the way that you use energy is completely different to your neighours. That’s why we will work closely with you to design a bespoke off-grid power solution that meets your individual needs.
Future Proofed
None of us can predict the future. With technology being ever-changing, it is hard to predict what your energy usage will be in a few years’ time. With our modular system, you can relax safe in the knowledge that we can easily add to your existing system if your energy demand grows.
Expert Monitoring
We’re here to support your off-grid power system for life. Once your installation is complete, we will continue to remotely monitor your energy system to ensure it is operating at peak efficiency – providing you with instant remote diagnosis and technical support should you ever need it.
App-Based Reporting
You’re completely in control. Through the powerful Victron Energy web-based monitoring portal, you can anaylse your system’s performance with both real-time and historical data – using your laptop, tablet or smartphone. We will help guide you through the portal so you will have a thorough understanding of your personal power supply.

Ian
Off-Grid Engineer
Whilst working as an electrician, Ian became involved in the Solar PV industry in 2009 after qualifying in the Design & Installation of Solar Photovoltaics & Renewable Energy. Ian managed the O&M of a large portfolio of over 12,000 domestic installations and over 30MW of Solar farms. Ian then moved into the Off-Grid sector and went to Holland in 2015 to be extensively trained in all elements of design and installation of off grid PV systems.
Ian quickly became an industry leader by both designing and installing several high-profile projects. Ian worked in conjunction with both Swansea and Cardiff universities on the Solcer house, and Off Grid Classroom projects. Both winning numerous awards including The Innovation and Impact Award in 2015 & Welsh Energy Efficiency Award for best Solar PV Project in 2017. Ian regularly presents at seminars for professionals such as architects to educate in the technicalities of off grid solar PV. In 2018. Ian assisted in the design and development of a new monitoring device designed for off grid systems which enables remote monitoring in areas with no internet connection whilst providing an internet connection for the property owners in areas with no coverage.
Ian lives Off Grid himself and has a passion for working with self-builders and architects to bring their projects to life. From initial plans, through design options, installation and aftercare.. for new build, renovation, passivhaus or barn conversion projects, Ian has worked alongside multiple trades and self builders to offer a complete turn-key solution to over 120 Off Grid homes across the UK
