Installing solar panels on your roof and investing in a battery gives you some independence from the grid. But if you really want to take control of your energy usage and reduce your dependence on big energy companies, you need to go completely off the grid.

Going off the grid means you generate all the electricity you consume yourself – so you never receive a power bill again. Installing an off-grid solar system almost means you can avoid paying expensive grid connection fees if your property is in a remote area.

Midwest Solar & Electrical have off-grid systems from weekender plug-and-play models to fully customised systems for homes and businesses. These systems include:
