Off-Grid Power Systems

What Off-Grid Power Systems does

Off-Grid Power Systems (OGPS) is a privately held, founder-owned LLC established in 2021 and headquartered in Delaware, Ohio, with 5 employees and regional operations in Helena, Montana and an upcoming Michigan location. The company designs, distributes, and installs off-grid solar power systems for three primary customer segments: recreational vehicles (RVs, camper vans, specialty vehicles), off-grid properties (cabins, hunting lodges, hobby farms), and commercial specialty vehicles (mobile medical/dental clinics, mobile workspaces, food trucks). It also operates a dealer program distributing Victron Energy, Merlin Solar, Pytes Energy, Hoymiles, and other component brands to independent installers and OEMs.

The company's core technology is built around the Victron Energy ecosystem, including inverters, solar charge controllers, battery management, and the VRM remote monitoring platform, configured in 48V architectures with CANbus communication and hybrid generator backup. Proprietary engineering work includes custom AC line filters for sensitive medical/scientific equipment, load balancing for multi-inverter configurations, and conservative bus bar sizing analysis for larger installations. Pre-engineered DIY Off-Grid Cabin Kits are offered in five configurations from 10 kWh/3,280W to 40 kWh/16,400W, alongside full custom design-and-install services for commercial clients.

OGPS operates a hybrid revenue model: full-service installation starting at $18,000; one-time DIY cabin kit sales (up to ~50% cheaper than full install); wholesale hardware distribution to dealers; component retail via its online shop; and a $250 Victron installer training program that also functions as dealer recruitment. Distribution is direct in Ohio, supported by a Batteries Plus retail partnership in Montana, with growing dealer and OEM channels. Strategic partnerships include Victron Energy (primary), NowStar Columbus/Caterpillar (mobile workspaces), and Pytes Energy (battery supply).
