Our Mi-Grid 1000, comes with 11.52 kWh of battery storage, a 6kW diesel generator (Natural Gas is an option), 5.22 kW of Solar Panels with ground mounts, housed in a "dog house", with the foot print of a standard Pallet.

You connect it to your house and you can connect it to the grid. It will automatically select the least expensive power source. And the batteries are sized to allow operation over night without the generator coming on. Generator will operate less than 1.5 hours per day if off grid. This would allow about 1/2 year between filling the tank (100 gal).

The primary power is the solar array. The batteries store the excess from the panels. The generator will kick on to fully charge the batteries for overnight, unless it is grid connected.

There are also hot water and potable water options.

$25K.

The 1000 is designed for a 1000 square foot house in the South Texas/Mexico areas including the use of air conditioning. It produces 38 kWh per day.

Mi-Grid 500 - 24kWh/day - $19K - $13K after Federal incentives
Mi-Grid 1000 - 38kWh/day - $25K - $17K after Federal incentives
Mi-Grid 2000 - 75kWh/day - $43K - $30K after Federal incentives
Mi-Grid 4000 - 150kWh/day - $77K - $54K after Federal incentives
Mi-Grid 25k - 350kWh/day - $160K - $117K after Federal incentives
Mi-Grid 50k - 750kWh/day - $320K - $234K after Federal incentives
Mi-Grid 100k - 1.5MWh/day - $700K - $490K after Federal incentives

California models would be slightly more expensive due to the different generator.
