Do we need a full off-grid system or would a small setup and generator be enough?

It depends how you use the property and how much generator noise, fuel, and maintenance you’re willing to live with.

A smaller system plus generator can work when:

• Weekend or occasional use — you arrive to charged batteries and run the generator rarely
• Occupancy is light and predictable

A full off-grid system makes sense when:

• You live there full-time or for extended stays
• Guests or Airbnb rotation won’t accept power rationing
• Resale value matters — a complete system is an asset; a minimal setup often isn’t

100UP specialises in generator-free normal operation. If a generator is included, it’s emergency redundancy — not a weekly crutch.
