Case Studies

Master saddle maker and leatherwork artist Cary Schwarz likes to keep his hands busy. A mobile saddle workshop now gives him the freedom to roam, taking his work with him. 

Fuel costs and reliability concerns led this Idaho bison ranch to implement a hybrid power solution that would supply critical loads, reduce generator-dependance and make life easier for ranchers and animals alike. 

This remote seasonal ranch enjoys uninterrupted power – even when the grid fails – thanks to a major investment in solar based autonomous power.

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.
