Hybrid Power Units for Off Grid Environments
Our EasyGrid range offers affordable off-grid power solutions for homes and businesses without a mains grid connection.
Maximise your savings with an EasyGrid unit that can pay for itself within just 12 months of installation, providing continuous financial benefits year after year.
Applications:
Residential, Farming, Commercial, Leisure Facilities and Glamping, Broadcast and Monitoring
Why Use an EasyGrid System Rather Than a Generator Alone?
Effortless Integration and Flexible Deployment:
- Pre-configured and Self-contained: No need to source separate components or design a bespoke system. Our EasyGrid units are built from durable, high-quality components, fully tested, and ready to install.
- Versatile Installation: Made from powder-coated steel, EasyGrid enclosures can be installed outside or in an outbuilding, depending on your needs. Suitable for worldwide installation, they can be set up by a competent local electrician.
Efficiency and Savings:
- Cost-effective: Compared to a standalone generator, an EasyGrid system can pay for itself within 12 months, with continued savings year after year.
- Reduce Hidden Costs: Standalone generators are inefficient, leading to high fuel and servicing costs.
How does the EasyGrid off-grid power system work?
Our EasyGrid hybrid units connect to your solar array, they also have a connection for a generator. The EasyGrid supply utilises energy from the solar array to charge the batteries, where energy will be stored until needed. The array then tops up the batteries as the power is used.
The system can also support additional loads to those listed when connected to a generator. In addition, if a generator is connected the batteries are depleted and no solar power is available, the system will send a start signal to the generator to provide power and charge the batteries.
At night, power can be drawn from the energy stored in the batteries
Experience the Benefits:
Reliable Power: Ensure consistent power supply without the inefficiencies of standalone generators.
Lower Costs: Save on fuel and servicing, reducing the hidden costs of off-grid projects.

System Options and Upgrades
Connecting a Solar Array
Sizing your solar array correctly is vital in getting the most effective renewable energy into your EasyGrid unit. On the datasheets you will find full details on the options available to you and how you can connect solar panels to optimise your power for peak loads.
We are able to supply the necessary solar panel kit, expansion kits, cables and connectors for your project. Please ask for prices and we can include this with your quotation.
Connecting a Generator
If you are looking at connecting a generator to one of the EasyGrid range we would recommend sizing of a 8kVA – 100kVA (dependent on EasyGrid unit) which will allow you to run additional loads. We are able to supply a generator with your EasyGrid if required. Please ask for prices and we can include this with your quotation.
Connecting a Wind Turbine
All EasyGrid systems have an upgrade option that allows owners to integrate a wind turbine as part of their renewable power input either at time of order or retrospectively. Whilst solar arrays are a good source of renewable power, wind turbines can also deliver valuable additional energy. Solar power can produce great results when the sun is shining but that may be only for a few hours a day, particularly in the UK. A wind turbine, whilst it may not be as powerful, can be producing power at any point during the course of 24 hours.
By integrating this additional renewable source, owners can further reduce generator run time and running costs.
Monitoring and Control
Victron Color Control
The EasyGrid range incorporates a Victron Color Control as standard. This control gives each EasyGrid a great functionality.
Color Control enables full online monitoring via the Victron VRM website (internet connection required). This shows all relevant parameter and historic data including battery capacity, power usage and solar input along with many other selectable parameters. The owner can also set alarms to ensure that the whole system operates at its optimum performance at all times.
The Victron Color Control also comes with enhanced generator control, allowing full control and monitoring of your off grid system. Owners will be able to see:
- Generator state: Indicates why the generator is running.
- Runtime: Generator runtime since last start.
- Total run time: Accumulated running time since the first start.
- Time to next test run: When the test run condition is enabled this item shows the time remaining to the next test run.
- Daily runtime: Page with the running times of last 30 days.
In addition the generator can be set to run based on the conditions such as AC load and state of charge of batteries to ensure that those living and working off grid are never without power.

Installation, Warranty and Service
Installation
The EasyGrid series is designed to be a plug and play solution for off grid customers. They can be installed by a competent, local electrician. We have a YouTube guide to help them plus each unit is supplied with a straightforward installation guide. For customers who wish us to install and commission an EasyGrid System please speak to us to include it in your quotation.
Warranty
The unit is covered by our own one year warranty, and the Victron power electronics are covered with a 5 year limited warranty.
For environments that require additional power, we offer our EasyGrid commercial range.
On sites with one large generator as a central power hub, multiple EasyGrid units can be set up via an on-site distribution board to work in synchronisation and deliver power to separate areas.
