Off-grid Definition

Off-grid Definition:  

When we talk about a power grid we’re referring to the network that delivers electricity to our homes. An off-grid system is designed to help people function without the support of this network.

Breaking Down Off-grid:

Off-grid systems can be used to provide smaller communities with electricity, or those people that prefer to be self-sufficient and not rely on public utilities for their power. As solar and wind technologies become more available and are improved, off-grid power is in greater demand (although not commonly used).
