Posted February 25, 2019 by solarplants

Opting for off grid living can reduce your electricity bill, and make you self sufficient for your residential electrical needs.
 
Are you planning to buy a rural property? Thinking about whether to go for “on grid” or “off grid” in the UK? Is it better to right-of-way and go for the power pole connections from the local power grid or it will be better to stay away from all these set up and have your own power system opting for solar panels, batteries, inverter, and other required components to install a complete off-grid living in the UK?

One or the other, unless you decide to manage without electricity, having connected with a dependable source at the reasonable price is the way of living comfortably. Hence, here are some of the points that will help you to choose the right option.

No electricity bill

One of the major reasons to opt for an off-grid power system in the UK is that you don’t have to pay huge electricity bills for the lifetime. It is especially beneficial when there is no certainty of how much the rate of electricity can increase in the upcoming years. While if you choose off-grid, you are a company who generates electricity, independently and you don’t have to bother about the rising price of electricity. It may take you a high cost to get the unit installed but the saving on the power utility bill for years is just worthwhile.

Lifestyle

Choosing off-grid living in the UK often has implications in depth, which is independence from dependency on the other sources. You are self-sufficient to meet the needs of your residence and you can inspire your kids to be green and not to take the things as granted. If you have your own water supply, power supply and even grow organic food or so, installing an off-grid power system, definitely falls into this ethic.

No blackouts

When there is no power for everyone in your locality, your home shines with full power facilities. This is immensely helpful as it is and more when you have any member with a bad health condition that requires the support of some electronic devices or medicines to be stored in refrigeration.

Cost according to your requirements

Installation of the off-grid power system may need you to incur more, but the expense depends on the electrical devices or the total amount of electrical consumption in a day. The electricity the system needs to generate is the factor affecting the installation cost.
