Do you want to cut the cord with the utility company, but don't know what that involves? The Aggie 'n Arkie OTG Energy Guide takes you through the process from beginning to commissioning of a solar/off-grid energy system. From early planning stages of going Off-The-Grid to being totally energy independent, within these chapters are a multitude of diagrams and photos of actual solar and energy storage projects along with expert guidance and a lot of stories. Written for anyone who has ever been left in the dark by severe storms or rolling blackouts; those who are facing ever-increasing electric bills; or among the growing number of people in search of a more independent way of life. This comes to you from the complimenting (and sometimes opposite) points of view of the younger Aggie Engineer and the older experienced Arkie solar and energy storage developer. Whether you are wanting to live OTG in the country or are in an urban setting, you'll find helpful guidance and insight on what to expect and how (or if) to make the switch. This should be the OTG Homesteader's first OTG book before investing in solar and/or energy storage---whether attempting to Do-It-Yourself, or hiring a contractor to build your system.
