Case Studies

With plans to retire next year and hit the road full-time, the owners of this Brinkley Model Z 3100 fifth wheel wanted a robust battery-inverter system to power essential loads and the flexibility to easily expand their system as needed.

Homeowner and solar installer Eric Enquist lives with his family in Boulder, MT. Last summer, he disconnected his house from the grid to install an off-grid system powered by solar, Pylontech batteries, and Victron Energy components. We sat down to ask him about his experience and to share advice with homeowners designing their own system.

During a power outage, well and septic pumps can also fail. Colin Smith and his team are developing robust inverter-battery backup systems to continuously power essential loads when we need them most.

For eight months of the year, the Bellrose family is cut off from the rest of the world. Their safety and survival depend on careful preparation, knowledge of the environment, and having the right equipment to get jobs done. Completely off-grid, their Victron Energy power system is essential to their success.

Take a tour inside Tundra Buggy One, the mobile research vehicle and broadcast studio used by Polar Bears International to study polar bears and share their story with the world. A new Pylontech LiFePO4 battery bank and Cerbo GX device now provides a robust power supply and remote monitoring capabilities in one of the most extreme environments on the planet.

Sugar Loaf Lodge & Cabins accommodates up to forty guests – in the Montana wilderness – with all the comforts of home. Their new off-grid power system includes 12 Lithium-ion rack-mount Pylontech 3,000C 40 Volt batteries with over 40Kw of storage, tripling the nameplate capacity of the battery bank and doubling the output and charging potential of their Victron Quattro inverter/charger, all while reducing generator run time and saving money on propane.
