Impact: Provides 100% off-grid energy independence with 10.3 kWh battery storage, generating ~9,200 kWh annually—enough to power a typical rural home year-round while eliminating ~$2,376 in equivalent grid-equivalent costs.
Hardware: 12 x 610W high-efficiency panels paired with a LUX Power Hybrid String Inverter & 2 x Pytes V5 5.12kWh Batteries mounted in a Pytes Outdoor Battery Cabinet
Completed: August, 2025
In Lac Ste. Anne County, AB, this off-grid homeowner opted for a robust 7.32 kW ground mount solar array to achieve true energy autonomy. Eager to break free from utility dependencies, they collaborated closely on the design, integrating high-efficiency panels with a hybrid inverter and secure outdoor battery cabinet for reliable power through Alberta's variable seasons. The system’s modular design allows for seamless expansion, with the inverter supporting additional panels and the cabinet accommodating two more batteries for increased storage capacity in the future. This project exemplifies sustainable, adaptable off-grid living with room to grow.
