Off Grid Solar Systems For Tiny Houses with Matt Porter


Listen Later

#014 - So you want to go off the grid in your tiny house and you might be wondering, what kind of solar system set-up and equipment do I need? How much will it cost? And where do I start?

Today I’m speaking with Matt Porter, who is a Standalone Power System Designer, Installer, Battery Tech and Wise Guy from SAE Group (Solar, Aircon, Electrical), who are based in Northern NSW and South-East Queensland.

I was introduced to Matt by my past guests from episode #009, Matt and Kathy McMillan, who are tiny housers from the mid-North Coast of NSW, and had nothing but good things to say about SAE Group.

In this conversation we talk about:

  • Where to start when it comes to an off-grid solar system that suits your needs and wants
  • The basics of how a solar system works and the equipment involved
  • Important considerations and what to look for or ask about when finding a solar company 
  • Roof solar panels vs panels on trailers, sheds or ground mounts
  • An intro to grid-connected solar
  • Lots more!
