"Could not be happier with our purchase! We have lived off grid for a long time. Our new system now allows us to live off grid in style. Before this massive upgrade we used luci lanterns for light and a gas generator to pump our well. We don't own enough appliances to fully use our system's capabilities"

Can this run my whole house?

The Prime Plus is not designed to run an entire house. It can power remote cabins, barns, tiny homes and ADU's, but a regular American home is not what this kit is designed to power. You can power a significant portion of your homes needs with this kit and provide back-up power for your critical loads. You can also install a sub panel to power entire appliances (off-grid) at your main home.

Can I really install this kit myself?

Yes. We’ve designed the Prime lineup to be DIY-friendly. Each kit includes pre-cut cables, detailed wiring schematics, and all the parts you need. In fact, most homeowners handle the majority of the assembly themselves, and get a local professional to do the high voltage connections and the connections to the homes electrical panel. Its also super simple to have a local professional come and install the whole kit if you wish to go that route since everything is included.

What size generator is needed to recharge the system? 

If you want to power all your loads AND recharge the batteries, then you need a generator 1.5 times the inverter rating (9000W). However, if all you want to do is recharge your batteries, you can use smaller generators to do that.

What is "Peak Shaving" and can I do it with this kit?

Peak Shaving is using your stored battery power during the hours when your utility company charges the highest rates. Yes, you can do that with the Prime Pro. All Prime kits feature smart inverter technology that allows you to automatically shift your home’s heaviest loads to battery power during peak times, significantly lowering your monthly utility bill.

Prime Power Kits

Formerly known as the OGKs - PRIME Power Kits come with all the parts and pieces you need to get up and running. Engineered for a DIY-friendly experience, they are simple enough for a homeowner to install or for a local professional to set up quickly.

Here are a few examples of use cases for the OGK Power Kits.  

  • Home Backup: Keeps your refrigerator, freezer, and essentials running during grid outages.
  • Peak Shaving: Automatically offsets your energy usage when utility rates are highest to lower your monthly bill.
  • Off-Grid Cabins: Power your home, shed, cabin or workshop in remote homes.
  • Mobile Business: Ideal for food trucks, mobile workshops, and construction sites needing reliable, quiet power.

The Trim Philosophy: Plus, Max, and Pro

Across all our kit lines, we offer three distinct trim levels to simplify your decision-making.  The capacity scales to meet your specific energy demands as you go from PLUS --> MAX --> PRO

  • PLUS: Our entry-level configuration. It’s designed to handle the essentials with a focus on efficiency and value.
  • MAX: The balanced choice. This trim increases component sizing and storage, providing more overhead for daily use.
  • PRO: The ultimate version of the line. Scaled up in both size and price, this trim is for those who need the highest output and most robust storage capacity available in that category.
