Tom & Jade's Home
A fully off-grid family home — 21.5 kWp of solar, 64 kWh of battery storage and 24kW of three-phase inverters, with room to add wind and a generator. Going off-grid worked out cheaper than a grid connection.
The installation
Tom and Jade live completely off-grid in Appleby Magna with their young family — by choice and by economics. When they priced up connecting the property to the grid, a self-sufficient solar-and-storage system actually came out cheaper.
We installed 33 × 650W panels (21.5 kWp) feeding two 12kW three-phase inverters — comfortably enough to run a busy family home year-round, with battery storage carrying them through evenings and overnight.
The system is built to grow: there's space to add a wind turbine to top up generation through the darker winter months, and a backup generator for total resilience — so they're never caught short, whatever the weather.
It's proof that off-grid living isn't roughing it. This is a modern, capable home energy system that simply doesn't need the grid — and the live data below shows it running entirely under its own steam, with no grid connection behind it at all.
