Finance Your Off-Grid Homestead Power System
Many customers choose financing to spread the cost of their off-grid system over time while installing the right system size from the beginning.
Many customers finance their system for $350–$450 per month depending on credit and loan terms. Once the loan is paid off, the system is yours and your home can produce its own power — eliminating future utility bills.

What’s Included in a Homestead Power System
Every off-grid homestead system is built around four core components that work together to provide reliable, independent power.
Solar Array
High-efficiency solar panels capture energy from the sun to power your home and charge your battery system during the day.
Typical size: 12kW–20kW
Lithium Battery Storage
Lithium batteries store solar energy so your home can run overnight and during cloudy weather.
Typical storage: 32kWh–96kWh
Hybrid Inverter System
The inverter converts solar and battery power into usable electricity and manages system performance.
Scalable and generator compatible
Optional Backup Generator
A generator can recharge batteries during extended cloudy weather or high energy demand.
Kubota Diesel or Briggs & Stratton Propane options

Still Have Questions About Off-Grid Homestead Power?
Homestead Solar System FAQ
Answers to the most common questions about powering a full-time homestead with off-grid solar.
How big of a solar system does a homestead need?
Most full-time homesteads require between 12kW and 20kW of solar capacity, depending on home size, appliances, well pumps, and heating systems.
Homes using electric cooking, water heating, or large workshops may require larger battery storage or expanded solar arrays.
Our team helps size systems based on your daily energy usage, property layout, and future expansion plans.
Can a solar system power an entire homestead?
Yes. Modern off-grid solar systems can power entire homes, wells, workshops, barns, and other property infrastructure.
With properly sized solar arrays and lithium battery storage, many homesteads operate completely independent from the utility grid.
These systems are designed to provide reliable power for modern appliances, water systems, refrigeration, tools, and everyday living.
How many batteries does an off-grid homestead need?
Battery storage depends on daily energy usage and how much reserve power you want during cloudy periods.
Most homestead systems include:
- 32kWh – 64kWh of lithium storage for moderate energy usage
- 64kWh – 96kWh+ for larger homes or heavy electrical loads
Larger battery banks allow homes to operate overnight and maintain power during multiple days of reduced solar production.
Can I start small and expand my system later?
Yes. Most of our homestead systems are designed to be fully scalable.
You can start with a system sized for your current energy needs and later add:
- Additional solar panels
- More lithium batteries
- Additional inverter capacity
This allows your system to grow as your property, shop buildings, or energy usage expands.
Do I need a generator with an off-grid solar system?
A backup generator can be added as an option to any off-grid solar system.
While solar and battery storage handle most daily energy needs, it is recommended to have a generator available to recharge batteries during extended periods of heavy overcast weather.
We strongly support Kubota diesel generators and Briggs & Stratton propane generators, which are reliable options commonly used in off-grid energy systems.
Can I install the system myself?
Yes. Many customers choose DIY or Assisted DIY installation.
We provide:
- Complete system designs
- Wiring diagrams
- Equipment packages
- Remote support during installation
For customers who prefer a fully managed solution, we also offer professional installation options.
How much does a homestead solar system cost?
Homestead systems vary depending on system size, battery storage, and installation method.
Typical starting ranges include:
- DIY systems starting around $29,000
- Assisted DIY systems starting around $33,000
- Professional installations starting around $41,000
Larger properties with higher energy demands may require larger systems.
How long do solar and battery systems last?
Modern solar panels typically last 25–30+ years.
Lithium battery systems generally last 10–15+ years depending on usage cycles.
Most off-grid systems require minimal maintenance beyond periodic inspection and basic monitoring.
