Extension Division, 2019)"Living off-grid refers to living in a self-sustaining manner without reliance on one or more utilities. Some consider disconnecting from the electrical utility to be off-grid, but others have a more comprehensive view of the term. For our purposes, off-grid is concerned only with disconnecting from the electrical utility. There are many reasons why people do not connect to the utility grid. Off-grid applications are common among agricultural producers with stock water facilities too remote for an on-grid electrical supply. Homeowners might choose to go off-grid because of the prohibitive cost of running electrical service to their home. Some homeowners go off-grid out of concern for the environment and a desire to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Others like the idea of being self-sufficient and being rid of monthly utility bills. No matter your motivation for considering off-grid living, a few facts about being off-grid may help determine whether it is right for you."--First page.
