Assembly can be simple for you if you are mechanically inclined renewable stores in town would be happy to assist you with assembly and/or installation.
Since the battery bank holds your stored energy it is recommended that you size your battery bank according to your electrical needs. For instance our home has 12-4V batteries (48V) which stores up to 52 kilowatts of electricity.
The solar dual axis tracker automatically controls the solar array. This feature allows you to maximize the full sun's exposure by moving the array to capture 100% of the sun's energy. The tracker also has a manual control option to allow you to have full control over your solar array.
Battery owner checking SG (specific gravity) to evaluate the state of charge.
The inverter and charge controllers are a great system as they all communicate with each other which allows you to control the system with one controller.
In Alaska a generator is essential for backup. This 20 KW backup generator supplements our RE (renewable energy) system. Our goal was to reduce the run time of the generator by designing a hybrid (wind and solar) system specific to our location.

Living GREEN with ​style
This owner built- custom 5+ star home was completed in the fall of 2012 and is thought to be the first of it’s kind to hold an “off-grid” status that meets all building code requirements for the Municipality of Anchorage. At least 80% of the energy needed is produced by our hybrid off-grid renewable energy system harnessing both wind and solar.
In order to accomplish this, the building location had to work with the many elements of nature that are unique to the lot. The home was developed with an orientation facing Northwest so it could deflect high winds, as well as capture majestic views of Cook Intlet and the Alaska Range. This energy efficient home has a high insulation value, a natural gas high efficiency hydronic system and Energy Star appliances. It was also constructed using the “remote wall” concept of CCHRC (Cold Climate Housing Research Center). The idea of using this wall design was to create a higher R-value that makes for an extremely air tight home and eliminates thermal bridging. In addition to these features and benefits, the owners believe this home is the first of it’s kind to obtain financing through a local bank (FNBA) with an off grid status.
