Dave’s Eco-Friendly Off Grid Retreat

 

Nestled in the breathtaking beauty of Devon, Dave had a dream – a peaceful, eco-friendly summer Off Grid Retreat where he could tend to his land sustainably. With our small off-grid solar system, his dream became a reality. Let’s explore how Dave’s journey unfolded.

Choosing Sustainability:
Dave’s commitment to sustainability led him to select our small off-grid solar system. With its promise of clean, renewable energy, he knew it was the right choice. The installation was seamless and efficient, taking just a day. Using an innovative ballast mounting system, the solar panels found their new home atop a shipping container roof.

Powering His Oasis:
Dave’s off grid retreat is powered by a compact Victron EasySolar-II GX and a dependable Pylontech US5000 LFP battery. Together, they provide all the power he needs for a comfortable retreat. Interior and exterior lighting brighten his space, while his power tools are always ready for action. A small fridge keeps his drinks cold, and a kettle brews his favourite beverages with ease.

Dave’s solar setup is a breeze! He’s got six fantastic JA Solar modules, giving him a total array size of 2.5 kW. We made it even easier with our user-friendly K2 ballast mounting system, perfect for his container’s flat roof. We used trusty concrete slabs to secure it in place, and provide full ballast calculations for all our flat roof systems. So, come rain, shine, or even snow, your array is built to handle whatever the weather throws its way!

Embracing the Best Part:
The best part of Dave’s off grid journey? It’s not just about sustainability; it’s about savings too. His off grid solution cost him less than a new grid connection, and he’s said goodbye to those pesky monthly energy bills. Now, he basks in the warmth of the Devon summer, surrounded by the serenity of nature, powered by sustainable, worry-free energy.

Dave’s story is a testament to the power of sustainable living. With our small off grid solar system, he’s not just creating an eco-friendly retreat; he’s creating a legacy of responsible energy use. His summer in Devon is now filled with the harmony of nature and the satisfaction of knowing he’s treading lightly on the planet.
