About
Your electric bill will never stop climbing. Your power can.
You have watched your energy costs rise year after year with no end in sight. You have looked into solar panels only to discover liens on your home, confusing loan terms, and systems that go dark the moment the grid goes down. You have wondered whether there is a way to power a real, modern home without depending on a utility company that holds all the cards. You are not alone.
The Off Grid People: Modern Home, No Grid is the practical, no-nonsense guide written by R. A. Brown, who spent a lifetime operating in places with no electrical grid and then applied that hard-won knowledge to designing and building a fully modern off-grid home during the Covid-19 outbreak. This is not a book about tiny houses, weekend cabins, or roughing it. This is about the same kind of home you live in right now, with every modern appliance and convenience, powered entirely on your own terms.
Part One breaks down every electrical component you need to understand, explained in plain language. Part Two walks you through the entire build, from your first visit to the county permit office to the day you flip the switch.
Inside you will discover:
• How to evaluate solar and wind options with a clear-eyed financial calculator, not a sales pitch
• How to navigate government red tape, inspections, and permitting without costly mistakes
• How to design a power system that keeps your lights on when everyone else loses theirs
