One System. Six Years of Peace of Mind.<\/em><\/h3>\n

In 2018, one UK homeowner made a bold choice \u2014 not just to install solar panels or add a few batteries, but to completely<\/em>\u00a0disconnect from the grid. His goal was full energy independence, driven by sustainability, reliability, and long-term value. Six years later, the system is still running strong \u2014 proof that the right setup can deliver true energy freedom.<\/p>\n

System Overview<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

To meet the full energy demands of a modern household year-round, the system was designed with power, storage, and redundancy in mind:<\/p>\n

Battery Storage: 12 \u00d7 Soluna EOS 5kWh Low Voltage Batteries (Total 60kWh)<\/p>\n

Inverter System: 2 \u00d7 Victron Energy Hybrid Inverters<\/p>\n

Configuration: Fully off-grid, automated power management with monitoring via Victron\u2019s VRM portal<\/p>\n

The Homeowner\u2019s Words:<\/p>\n

“This is our house. 20kW of solar and 60kWh of battery storage. All totally off-grid for the last 6 years! Victron\/Soluna \u2014 a perfect match!”<\/p>\n

Why Soluna?<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

The homeowner chose Soluna for three key reasons:<\/p>\n

Trusted Performance: Proven lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry with high cycle life<\/p>\n

Modularity & Expandability: Easy to install, easy to scale<\/p>\n

Compatibility: Seamless integration with Victron Energy systems<\/p>\n

Sustainability Impact<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Going off-grid not only reduced the homeowner\u2019s energy bills to zero \u2014 it also eliminated approximately 8\u201310 tons of CO\u2082 emissions annually, based on the average UK energy mix.<\/p>\n

\u2728 Six Years Later \u2014 Still Going Strong<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, the homeowner continues to live off-grid, fully self-powered by the sun and Soluna’s energy storage. What started as a bold personal decision has proven to be a lasting, practical, and inspiring example of how resilient off-grid living can be \u2014 when powered by the right system.<\/p>\n
