Design Your Off-Grid Solar System in One Weekend

The step-by-step system that helps you design, size, and install professional-grade off-grid solar—even if you've never touched electrical work before.

​

   ✓ Never buy an undersized battery bank again


   ✓ Size wire to NEC code—prevent fires and voltage drop

 
   ✓ Choose the right inverter for surge loads


   ✓ Save $7,000+ vs. hiring an electrician

​

   Includes Professional Design Spreadsheet ($197 value)

"I created this course after seeing too many DIYers waste thousands on wrong parts. My goal: give you the same professional tools and calculations I use, without the $12,000 installation bill."

  • Most DIY solar systems fail because people buy parts first and try to make them work later.

  • This leads to systems that are underpowered, unsafe, unreliable, or overpriced.

  • This course teaches the correct order:

  • Loads → Design → Components → Installation → Commissioning

  • Common failure points:

  • Wrong system type (AC vs DC mismatch)

  • Wrong sizing (surge loads, battery capacity, voltage drop)

  • Missing protection (wiring, disconnects, grounding, faults)

Outcomes

By the end of this course you will be able to: 

  • Identify loads and calculate true power needs

  • Choose AC or DC based on what you are powering

  • Select an inverter that handles real surge and motor loads

  • Commission the system with a safe startup order

  • Choose batteries based on capacity and power delivery

  • Size PV modules correctly (voltage, amperage, wattage)

  • Size wire safely to prevent voltage drop and overheating

  • Place disconnects and over-current protection correctly

  • Maintain the system and plan realistic upgrades

Who It's For

DIY solar.jpg

This course is for DIYers building off-grid or backup solar systems.

​

It is ideal for people powering pumps, lighting, charging devices, refrigeration, and heaters, and for anyone who wants to design confidently before buying hardware.

​

This course is not for people unwilling to do hands-on work, those looking for a shortcut parts list, or anyone who needs stamped engineering drawings or permit services.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Q: Does this course teach AC and DC solar?

    • A: Yes. You will learn what each is best for and how to choose based on your loads.

  • Q: Is this beginner-friendly?

    • A: It is DIY-friendly but assumes you can follow instructions and work safely.

  • Q: Does this include a parts list?

    • A: You will learn how to choose parts correctly for your system.

  • Q: Does this replace permits or electrical code requirements?

    • A: No. Local requirements always apply.

  • Q: How do I access the course?

    • A: After purchase, you will receive member access to the course dashboard.

  • Q: How much money will this save me?​

    • A: Most DIYers spend $4,000-$5,000 on a 3kW off-grid system doing it themselves. 
         Hiring an electrician for the same system costs $12,000-$15,000. This course 
         pays for itself 20× over on your first installation.​

  • Q: What if I have zero electrical experience?​

    • A: Perfect! This course is designed for beginners. We start with the fundamentals 
         and build up step-by-step. If you can follow instructions and use basic tools, 
         you can do this.​

  • Q: How is this different from YouTube videos?​

    • A: YouTube videos are scattered and incomplete—you'll waste hours searching for 
         answers. This course gives you everything in one place: the theory, the calculations 
         (via spreadsheet), the step-by-step process, and the NEC compliance you need for safety.​

  • Q: Do I need special tools?

    • A: You'll need basic electrical tools (multimeter, wire strippers, drill) and 
         hand tools you probably already have. We provide a complete tools list in the course.
