Thank you for checking out Evergreen Off-Grid! I hope your year is off to an amazing start!
Why not energize your new year with a new solar project? We’ve found you reputable products with excellent warrantees so you can get started. Search our affiliate deals below for the equipment you need to power your project of any size, small or large.
By piecing together a small or medium sized solar generation system you can keep your family protected during power outages by keeping your security systems up and running, powering your personal electronics or even backing up your entire home. If you don’t know how, we have an entire series of articles devoted to teaching you everything you need to know about designing a system of any size. Even if you don’t know a watt from an amp, we have you covered:
The Slow Going Solar Shed
I’ve been promising a solar shed and it’s coming along, but you know… life.
Before I put electronics in my shed I need a roof! And before I put a roof on my shed I it to stop raining. And well, I live in Seattle so I guess I’ll have to wait.
But I’m getting ready to slap some trim on it and the outside is looking pretty good considering an electrical engineer with no business swinging a hammer built it!
So stay tuned. We’re filming our build and this summer we’re going to show you how to set up your own solar shed. Don’t think you need one? Follow along and we’ll show how much you can get done with a small set up. Make sure you hit subscribe at the bottom of the page.

EcoFlow
We like EcoFlow at Evergreen Off-Grid because it’s a single box power solution. You don’t need to worry about designing a system at all, EcoFlow did the work for you. With systems capable of needs ranging from a few laptops to your entire home there is a solution for everyone.
While it may seem silly to spend a couple hundred dollars to replace an extension cord, that is just one of the many benefits you get with the smaller units. In addition to providing a small amount of emergency power during an outage, we plan to take this camping. You may be thinking about how lame it is that I need a power station while I’m camping. That’s fair. But when you go camping, if you inflate an air mattress with one of those little pumps that takes 5 D size batteries (which you buy only for such occasion), then you too may be relieved to have a portable 120AC source for a beefier and more flexible pump. Like maybe something that can also pump up your tires.
I’ve found all sorts of convenient uses for my EcoFlow power stations and I’m sure you will too. And if you want to take an additional 5% off of your purchase enter Coupon Code: ECOFLOWAFF at checkout when you follow our link below:

HQST
HQST has the same idea we do. Plan in the winter and build in the spring. I like it! And for our solar shed, we purchased a couple 100 amp hour, 12 volt batteries from HQST (like the one pictured below). It’s safe to consider that an Evergreen Off-Grid recommendation. Stay tuned for more on that.
