The Off-Grid Living Planner

Thinking about going off-grid, fully or just partly? The people who enjoy it measured what they use before they bought anything. This 21-page A4 printable from Fernbrook Guides helps you do that on paper first.

Start with your goals and a land and property assessment, then work out your real energy use with an appliance-by-appliance energy audit. Simple solar and battery worksheets, each with a worked example, give you rough figures to take to installers so you can ask better questions and compare quotes side by side. A water page shows how much rain your roof could collect (1 mm on 1 m² is 1 litre) next to your household's daily use, and there's a log for water tests and filter changes.

Heating and firewood planning, a fire and carbon monoxide safety log, a food and garden plan, waste and wastewater records, an off-grid budget, an installer quote comparison, a monthly energy and water log, a seasonal maintenance checklist, an emergency plan and a skills tracker turn the plan into a home that keeps running year after year.

The worksheets give rough planning estimates only. They are not a system design, and electrical, gas, stove, water and wastewater work should be done or signed off by qualified professionals as your local rules require. Print at home or at a print shop. Instant download; personal use only.
