Calculators that design the system with you

Every tool computes live as you type, explains its method, and turns your numbers into a brief you can hand any installer. Members save results across devices.

Off-Grid Site Planner

Pick your land, drag buildings, power, water and heat onto the plot, and read one live off-grid verdict.

Lay out your site →
Start here

Lay the whole site out, total the loads, and convert whatever unit the datasheet used.

Solar and wiring

Array size, panel to battery, and the cable that carries it without losing the volts.

Batteries and storage

How big the bank has to be, how long it lasts, and what the chemistry costs over its life.

Appliances and loads

What each machine really draws, what it spikes to on start-up, and whether your system carries it.

Generators, fuel and outages

Generator size and fuel burn, how loud it is at the fence, how much fuel to store, and what the fridge can survive.

Water and heat

Rain caught, water used, tanks and pressure, and the wood a winter takes.

No numbers required

Rather be asked than calculated?

The quizzes work the other way round: they ask about your life and hand you the answer — which energy source, which water source, which land, which region. Or take the whole assessment at once.
