Offgrid Tech is offering a one-week seminar to help better equip you in planning and selecting equipment, setting up water and solar equipment and maintaining a solar electric system. You will learn about PV panels, solar electric batteries, charge controllers, inverters, fuse and breaker boxes, grounding, surge protection and basic household wiring.

Offgrid Tech has been outfitting missionaries with solar electric systems since 1976. All our staff have overseas missionary experience and are familiar with the needs of those on the field and the equipment best suited for these applications. We have been an integral part of Ethnos360 Training since 1990. We have expertise in solar electric systems, AC and DC equipment, water purification, LP gas, plumbing, water pumping, etc. Offgrid Tech also publishes “Tech Tips for Living in Remote Locations” which is in its 9th edition and covers all these areas of technology. We manufacture and customize equipment for missionary living and provide email, telephone and in-person consultation. At times, we can set up and upgrade installations on location.
