How to Select the Right Solar Package for Your Cabin

Selecting an off-grid cabin solar package doesn't have to be daunting. Let us make it easier by understanding your needs and those nice-to-have features.

High Draw, Short Duration = Smaller Package

Some appliances need lots of power for short periods. Coffee in the morning is a great example—a Keurig or Nespresso maker provides hot coffee without keeping a pot warm all day. High draw but short duration means a smaller package works well.

Steady Power, Long Duration = Larger Package

If you need steady power over long periods (refrigerator, well pump, extended stays), you'll benefit from a larger package with more battery capacity and solar generation.

Consider Future Expansion

If you're considering upgrades down the road, the Ultimate Cabin package offers full expandability. Add solar panels, batteries, or upgrade to 240V as your needs grow.

Cabin Solar FAQ

What's the best solar package for a weekend cabin?
For occasional weekend use, our Weekend Warrior package is ideal. It includes 800W of solar panels, lead-carbon batteries, and a 2000W inverter. The system charges all week while you're away and provides power for lights, a small refrigerator, phone charging, and a water pump for the weekend.
Can I run a full refrigerator at my cabin?
Yes! Both the Weekend Warrior and Ultimate Cabin packages can power a refrigerator. The Weekend Warrior handles a small fridge for weekend use, while the Ultimate Cabin can run a full-size refrigerator 24/7 for extended stays or year-round living.
How long does installation take?
Our cabin solar packages are designed for quick DIY installation. The Weekend Warrior can typically be installed in one day by a handy homeowner. The Ultimate Cabin package takes 2-3 days with help. We provide detailed instructions and unlimited phone support throughout the process.
Do these systems work in Canadian winters?
Yes! Our packages are specifically designed for Canadian conditions. The Ultimate Cabin features heated lithium batteries that perform well to -20°C. The Weekend Warrior uses lead-carbon batteries which handle cold better than standard lead-acid. Both systems can be supplemented with a generator for extended cloudy periods.
Can I expand my cabin solar system later?
The Ultimate Cabin package is fully expandable—add more solar panels, batteries, or upgrade to 240V operation. The Weekend Warrior is designed as a simpler, more affordable system and isn't specifically designed for major expansion, but can be supplemented with generator backup.
What's included in the solar packages?
All packages include solar panels, charge controller, inverter, batteries, safety breakers and fuses, cables with crimped ends, and detailed installation instructions. We also provide unlimited phone support. Site-specific wiring and mounting hardware are available as add-ons.
Which package do I need for year-round use?
For year-round cabin living, we recommend the Ultimate Cabin package with its heated lithium batteries, larger solar array, and generator integration capabilities. For occasional use (weekends, long weekends, weeks here and there), the Weekend Warrior or Cozy Cottage packages work well.
How do you ship to remote locations?
We professionally package everything at our Grande Prairie warehouse and ship via freight to a depot near you. Solar panels are carefully packaged to prevent damage. You can also pick up directly from our location if you're in the area.
