Off-Grid House Plans has more than 250 floor plans, sections, sketches, and elevations, as well as all the construction details in all projects. An Off-Grid system allows you to live without using a utility company, generating your own energy. A well designed system also has numerous environmental advantages, that help you to reduce your carbon footprint, providing cleaner, more sustainable energy. In the long-term it is financially viable, and also teaches us how to consume energy responsibly. These off-grid homes, which run on solar, wind, or hydro power, are just a few examples of how people are leaving the city behind for a life in the country in contact with nature. AUTHOR: Anna Minguet is a creative based in Barcelona.

Interest in living off the grid, i.e. self-sufficiently without relying on public services such as the municipal water supply, electricity, or local sewage and gas systems, has come on the scene as a greener, cheaper, and more independent way of life. Homes that are off-grid generally allow for a smaller carbon footprint, and a sense of freedom and self-sufficiency. Living Off-Grid sets you free from depending on a company, either using solar panels, wind turbines, a micro water system, or a combination of these technologies. Other times, an Off-Grid system can work as an energy backup or be complemented by the grid when renewable technologies cannot produce all the energy needed. We have gathered different examples of nature-powered homes, which are partially or completely off-grid, to focus on the importance of these homes, which put sustainability first.
