“When the lights go out, some wait. Others generate.”
That’s the motto of Captain OffGrid — a symbol (and mindset) for anyone who’s done waiting on unstable power lines, surprise blackouts, and rising utility bills.
Because when the grid stumbles (and it’s happening more often), Capta...
Then the blackouts.
Then the “voluntary conservation requests.”
Then the surge pricing, the rolling outages, and the “grid congestion fees.”

She’s not here to save the world with slogans.
She’s here to run the numbers, spot the energy leaks, and get buildings back in balance — one rooftop, boiler room, or window upgrade at a time.

But something keeps bugging me. The rep I talked to c...
We’ve seen it more than once—someone buys a DIY solar kit thinking it’ll be plug-and-play. A few weekends later, they’ve got panels on the roof, wires running through the attic, and a nagging feeling that something might not be right. Months pass. A fire hazard gets flagged in a home inspection...
Because not everything that glows is gold.
We’re going to let you in on a hard truth:
🚨 Not all solar is created equal—and some of it is straight-up BS.
From “miracle panels” that supposedly generate power in total darkness to shady companies touting government programs that don’...
🌩️ “I Thought Solar Meant We’d Still Have Power.”
The rain was relentless—torrential, hammering the zinc roof like a thousand tiny fists.
