Off-Grid Advantages
Independence is chief among the reasons for wanting an off-grid system where the grid is available. Off-grid systems are not subject to the terms or policies of the local utility, nor are system owners subjected to rate increases, blackouts, or brownouts.

If you’re shopping for rural property, you’ll probably find that off-grid parcels are less expensive. Most people aren’t ready to take on being their own utility, and the land is priced according to this value system. Being off-grid can also be cheaper than getting a utility line extended to a property. But bear in mind that with off-grid renewable electricity systems, there are up-front and ongoing costs.

Off-grid systems may have a slight edge over grid-tied systems when it comes to expand ability. While both are modular, it’s often easier to grow an off-grid system as you can afford it. In fact, many off-gridders with limited incomes find this to be the norm—gradual weaning from fossil-fueled generators by adding more renewable capacity. With lower array voltages (12 to 72 VDC nominal), one to four modules can be added at a time. Battery less grid-tie systems run in the 150 to 600 VDC range, and specific inverters have voltage windows and efficiency curves, so that adding to them requires more modules and, possibly, another inverter.

Unless you can afford an over sized system, off-grid systems tend to force you to use electricity efficiently. This is a big advantage if you also hold environmental values. Some of the most energy-efficient homes in the country belong to off-grid folks. When you have to make all your energy with only the available resources at your site, you think about how to use that energy wisely.

There are many less tangible advantages of being off grid as well, including the satisfaction and peace of mind that goes with using electricity responsibly. And maybe your neighbors will begin to think you are way ahead of your time.
