About Off-Grid Manuals

Off-Grid Manuals publishes practical guides for people who run their own power, water and heat.

The guides are written from the perspective of living semi-off-grid on the coast of British Columbia, where winter days are short, the sun is low and the nearest repair shop is a ferry ride away. That shapes everything here: systems are sized for December, not June, and the guides explain the reasoning so you can adapt it to your own property.

Each guide shows its calculations, flags safety risks, and points out where codes, permits or a qualified professional are required.

Off-Grid Manuals is published by TilyD Ltd, based on the Sunshine Coast, British Columbia.
