Introduction
Living off-grid used to be reserved for cabins in the woods and remote homesteads. But today, more homeowners and businesses across Arkansas are choosing to disconnect from the grid and power their properties with solar and batteries.
Whether you’re motivated by energy independence, rising utility costs, or unreliable service in your area, an off-grid solar system gives you full control over how you generate, store, and use electricity.
At AEV Solar, we design high-performance off-grid systems that give Arkansans freedom, reliability, and peace of mind — without compromising on comfort or efficiency.
What Is an Off-Grid Solar System?
An off-grid system is a self-sustaining solar setup that operates entirely independent of the utility grid. It typically includes:
- Solar Panels – to generate power from the sun
- Battery Storage – to store energy for nighttime or cloudy days
- Inverter – to convert solar power into usable electricity
- Charge Controller – to manage the flow of energy to and from the batteries
- Backup Generator (optional) – to supply additional power during extended low-sunlight periods
With these components working together, your system becomes a closed-loop power plant — designed specifically for your energy needs and lifestyle.
Why Choose an Off-Grid System in Arkansas?
Arkansas is uniquely suited for off-grid living. With plenty of sun, affordable land, and increasing demand for energy resilience, many property owners are discovering the benefits of going fully independent.
Freedom from Utility Bills: No more fluctuating rates or unexpected surcharges. Your power is yours — 100%.
Reliable Power in Rural Areas: For homes and cabins in remote regions, utility access can be unreliable or unavailable altogether. Off-grid systems provide stable power where the grid can’t reach.
Protection from Grid Outages: Weather events, maintenance disruptions, or policy changes won’t affect your access to electricity when you’re off-grid.
Sustainable Energy Independence: By relying on clean solar power and high-capacity batteries, you reduce your carbon footprint while supporting long-term sustainability goals.
How Battery Storage Powers Off-Grid Living
In an off-grid system, batteries are essential — they keep your home or business running when the sun goes down or clouds roll in. The right battery system ensures that every kilowatt you generate gets stored and used efficiently.
What to look for in an off-grid battery setup:
- Storage Capacity: Choose batteries that match your daily and seasonal energy use
- Depth of Discharge (DoD): A higher DoD means more usable energy per cycle
- Warranty & Lifespan: Long-lasting batteries give you better ROI
- Scalability: Make sure your system can grow with your future energy needs
At AEV Solar, we install trusted battery brands like Franklin aPower 2 and Tesla Powerwall 3, giving you options that balance performance, scalability, and budget.
Is Off-Grid Right for You?
Off-grid systems are an ideal solution if:
- You live in a remote area with limited or no grid access
- You want total energy independence
- You’re building a new property and want to avoid utility infrastructure costs
- You’re ready to take control of your power and future-proof your lifestyle
That said, off-grid systems aren’t one-size-fits-all. The right setup depends on your energy goals, location, and how much power you use throughout the year.
