A simple off grid homestead. Built from the ground up with your own hands. Thats the dream for thousands of people around the world.
off-the-grid solar apartment. With their placement on the window sill, the panels are shaded by the building itself in the morning. They receive direct sunlight from about 10 am to 5 pm in the pit of winter (a total of 7 hours), and from roughly 1 pm to 9 pm in the height of summer...

Another Q... what biDirectional charger is the project using? I see the reference to GM's Bolts, is the plan to use the GM chargers? TIA.Outstanding!! Many kudos! Is the building actually off-grid? No PG&E connection? Or designed so it will not import electricity in most cases?

tl;dr An NYU professor living in an apartment goes off-grid for 8 months. Today, more than half the world lives in cities. Ive always thought that living off the grid meant living off in the woods, where you can live simply and set up an alternate power source.
