Case Studies

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.

For this Montana couple, living and working off-grid doesn’t mean making sacrifices. Their expanding Victron Energy power system covers day-to-day domestic needs, pumps water for orchard irrigation, runs 3-phase woodworking equipment, and soon, a greenhouse.

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.

Vanna's custom adventure vans have taken all-season, off-grid van life to the next level with 48-Volt Victron Energy power systems, a second alternator for faster battery charging, and remote monitoring capabilities.

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.
