Off-Grid Energy
Based in Upton, WY
Achieving true energy independence shouldn't require taking out a second mortgage. At Portable Off Grid LLC, we provide an incredibly affordable, plug-and-play alternative to the traditional $30,000 to $80,000 professionally installed solar systems. Whether you just need to run a remote water pump or you want to power a full-sized family home, an RV, or an off-grid cabin, our custom-sized units deliver high-quality, long-term power straight from the sun—without the massive price tag or the headache of a complex installation.
The core of our system is a robust, weatherproof shed built on durable skids, allowing it to be easily positioned exactly where you need it using a simple skid steer or forklift. Inside, your inverter and battery bank are securely housed, keeping your critical components completely protected from harsh elements and extreme cold weather. This self-contained "power skid" arrives completely pre-wired and ready to go from day one.
We build every unit to match your exact electrical needs. Your shed can be configured with customized outlets to plug your equipment directly into the unit, or you can use the built-in junction box to hardwire the system straight into your off-grid home’s electrical panel. For maximum safety and code compliance, all of our builds feature external breakers for rapid shutdown when needed.
When it comes to capturing the sun, we give you the flexibility to choose what works best for your property. Your portable unit comes equipped with a pre-wired PV disconnect, meaning the wires are ready to simply plug into your solar panels. You can park the shed right next to your home and connect it to roof-mounted panels, hook it up to permanent ground-mount racking, or opt for our portable ground-mount tubs for an incredibly fast and easy setup. It is the absolute quickest and most cost-effective way to bring reliable, customized solar power to your land.

Why Go Solar
Switching to solar can eliminate your monthly utility bills and protect you from rising energy costs by providing a fixed, predictable energy source. Solar systems can also increase the value of your property, as buyers often see the appeal of reduced energy expenses. Additionally, solar power offers independence from the grid, ensuring you have reliable electricity even during outages. Over time, the savings on energy bills can offset the initial investment, making solar a smart financial choice for homeowners and businesses alike.
Common Misconceptions
There are several common misconceptions about off-grid solar that can deter potential users. One myth is that solar panels don’t generate energy on cloudy days, but in reality, modern panels are highly efficient and can still produce electricity even with reduced sunlight. Another misunderstanding is that batteries wear out quickly, but lithium-ion batteries, such as LiFePO4, are far more reliable and long-lasting compared to outdated lead-acid batteries, often providing 15 to 25 years of dependable use. Lastly, many assume that off-grid solar systems can’t handle large household loads, but with advancements in panel efficiency and high-capacity inverters, these systems can easily power appliances, tools, and even HVAC systems, offering the same convenience as being grid-connected.
