Living off the grid you must take advantage of renewable energy. This renewable resource originates from several sources, consisting of sun, wind and water, to start with ...
Researchers are constantly on the lookout for more ways of making green energy. Here are the 2 types you must understand now.
Living off the Grid: - Advantages of Solar Power
i. The energy that originates from simply one hour of sun suffices to supply energy for a year for the whole world
ii. A battery can be used to store off grid solar power for evenings and cloudy days
iii. Solar panels on a roof work when the sun's rays strike the cells in the panel and electrons are released, producing energy
iv. Using solar power will typically provide a saving of $100+ each month on utility costs for the property owners of off grid homes .
Living off the Grid: - Advantages of Wind Energy
i. When wind goes through the blades of a turbine that is connected to a generator, the energy produced by the spin is converted into electrical energy
ii. A single large wind turbine can provide electricity for around 500 off grid homes
iii. Last year, 42 % of the houses that were geared up with a source of off grid power used wind
iv. Unlike most other sources of energy, wind utilizes hardly any water; not only is wind energy carbon neutral, it helps water conservation also
v. There is around 10 times the amount of wind available in the U.S. than is needed to supply power for the whole country
vi. Wind energy is presently the fastest-growing source of renewable energy: - Around two wind farms are set up weekly in the U.S.
For living off the grid, the facts indicate that the advantages of solar power combined with the advantages of wind energy now exceed any advantages that fossil fuels may have had. However it is probably down to individuals to begin the shift to a larger scale adoption, so that we may all enjoy living off the grid.

the view is nothing too special in comparison to some of the places I've visited. But it's mine and it's peaceful, secluded, relaxing, it's MY back yard.

This is the inside of my "power-house" (really a small shed), where the power from my 30 205-watt solar panels (6100 Watts) feed power to my batteries and are controlled and converted from 48 volt DC to 110/120 volt AC. Below, just out of this image, are my batteries; about 1350 Ah at 48 volts. Since we are too far from PNM power lines (they wanted $36,000 to run a line to our place), we are entirely off-grid, relying on the batteries to handle nights and cloudy days. If we are careful, we can go 3 or 4 fairly cloudy days before needing to run the generator.
This system can handle up to about 7600 Watts output continuously for the entire ranch. Most of the time, this is plenty. But almost everything we have is electric and we have some that draw pretty big loads (clothes dryer 4500 watts, oven 4000 watts, hot-tub 4000-6000 watts, well pump 3000 watts) so if we don't pay attention, sometimes we pop the circuit breakers and have to reset them. This is really only a problem if I am in the shower when it happens!

We went once more "Up the Pyrenees mountains and down again" in 3 dauntless Land Rovers..
A video from last year's relaxed Land Rover drive through the Pyrenees: www.youtu.be/ja9FGhrygv0
We drove 3 oldtimer Landrovers from Belgium into the Catalan Pyrenees and back. Off-road, off-grid and with a minimal ecological footprint. Nobody would find traces of us sleeping next to a ravine or in a forest.
One of our instructors pretended to be our client, we were assigned a piece of land, & we had to come up w/ a permaculture design based on the needs/wants of our client. Plus, we each had to pick a specialty, i.e. be an "expect" in a particular field. I choose solar & passive solar.

: The Linfoots moved to Craik after visited their daughter at the Eco-Centre in Craik and learning of the lots that were available for $1 to build in the Eco-Village. The couple set out to build a straw bale home in their seventies, but found the bales heavy to work with so they changed course and built their home of our insulated concrete forms.
