Now that you have discovered to go off-grid with Anthony, let’s talk about going off the grid. Living off the grid is an idea that is becoming more popular and more popular in today's world. A lot of people are starting to move away from the grid, and even those that aren't planning to leave still want to make some changes for the greater good. There are some pretty amazing ways to live off the grid from cheap farm land and other resources. These are just a few examples of how you can use your own home or property to generate energy with solar and become completely independent from the power companies.

You may think that this is something complicated, but it isn’t. It’s as simple as getting solar panels installed on your property and connecting them to the power source you have, in this case, it’s your battery bank. The solar panels convert the power that they receive into energy you can use. You store the energy you generate in a battery and use it for heating, cooling, lights, pumps and general appliances.

Off grid shed in Reedy Creek.

The solar panels on the roof of the shed charge the batteries in the cabinet and they supply off grid power to the shed.

When it comes to going off the grid you need to size up your solar and batteries according to your power usage. Doing this will allow you to be self sufficient and not rely on using your generator to charge up the batteries when there is not enough solar.

The generator is the last line of backup and is used when you go through a couple of days of bad weather. It charges up the batteries so that you can continue to live with off grid power.

Off-grid shed in regional town Whittlesea.

This shed is being powered by a full off grid system as the cost for bringing in the electrical services out weighed the cost of an off grid solar system.

The shed becomes the power plant and it will also power the house once its built.

One of these off grid systems is not like the other!

Not all off grid solar systems are created equal. The first picture is an old off grid solar system and on the other side you'll see a brand new off grid solar system.

Installing an off grid system isn’t just about the neat looks and attention to detail. It also means that your system could possibly last longer.

Hi, I’m Anthony, the creator of, go off grid dot com dot au

I got into solar and off grid a few years ago, when I was asked to drive out and see a couple living in the gippsland south coast. After sitting down and having a meaningful conversation with this couple, who were in fact still connected to the grid. Told me they were having some serious problems with constant blackouts and said we can't keep living like this. We need to do something fast. 

I put together an off grid system for them. They told me Anthony we love it, we want what you have to show us and want to go off grid. And at that point when they said Anthony cut the grid… I was like what??? Yeap you heard that right, they said we don’t want to be connected to the grid anymore… cut the bastard off. It was at that point and at that moment I was hooked. I was inspired, it felt liberating, free from the grid, living independently, no more power bills, what a relief.

It’s a funny thing… but as much as we have relied on coal power to run our homes for generations. Living off grid is possible!
