Off Grid Engineering

Check out this video as we revisit an existing customer 16 months later and evaluate the system performance.

Self-build project, Shaftesbury

Vanessa and Bruce Janion started their self-build project back in 2018. They have converted a large agricultural building into their five-bedroom family home just outside of Shaftesbury.

After being surprised by a huge quote of between £60k-£160k to connect to the National Grid, Vanessa and Bruce were thoroughly relieved to learn that an off-grid solar system would be able to power their home.

In this video we look at how the 80 panel system with over 40kWh of battery storage has performed. Using the Victron VRM Monitoring Portal, we are able to review how much energy the system has produced along with how often the LPG backup generator has been required. We also go into detail on how the system has been designed, along with how Bruce and Vanessa have found living off-grid.
