Designing an Off-Grid Solar System for Remote Cabins

Colorado’s rugged beauty is unbeatable—especially when you’re tucked away in a remote cabin miles from the nearest power line. Going off the grid used to mean compromising on modern comforts. Not anymore. At Sundog Solar, every solar system we design includes a battery from the get-go, making it easier than ever to achieve full off-grid independence.

For a truly off-grid setup, we simply size your system to produce enough energy to power your cabin year-round and store it in high-capacity batteries. During sunny days, your panels charge up those batteries. When a storm rolls in or the sun sets, your stored energy is right there, ready to power lights, a fridge, or even a high-efficiency heat pump. If you want extra security, we can integrate a small generator—but many of our off-grid customers find they rarely use it once they see how reliable their built-in battery truly is.

Because our solar-plus-battery approach is standard, you won’t need complex add-ons or retrofits if you decide to expand later. Maybe you’ll add more panels or a second battery bank to handle a new workshop or year-round living. Our modular design philosophy leaves the door open for easy upgrades whenever you’re ready.
