A TikToker took to the platform to show off her grandparents' incredible property, which is fully off the main power grid.
TikToker Taylor (@not.taylor.com) shared a video revealing her grandparents' setup, a sprawling compound in the desert, complete with solar panels powering the entire thing.
@not.taylor.com I'm still so impressed they built all this! Full solar power + relying on a well #homestead #offgrid #middleofnowhere #grandparentshouse #compound ♬ Old Man - Neil Young
The video shows a gorgeous desert farmstead, featuring a chicken coop, an RV, and a full home, complete with sweeping views and a fully-functional kitchen inside the house. Every bit of the home looks as modern as anything you'd find attached to a traditional power grid, and they have satellite TV, a wood-burning stove, and every comfort of a traditional homestead you could want, entirely powered by the sun.
While going fully off-grid may not be possible or feasible for many people, it's possible to reduce your reliance on the typical power grid by installing your own solar panels. Solar is a fantastic way to reduce your monthly energy bill to almost nothing, while also reducing your reliance on polluting energy sources like oil and natural gas, which are frequently used by power companies to generate electricity.
If you're looking to make a change to solar, TCD's Solar Explorer can help you connect with vetted local installers and can help you save up to $10,000 on your installation by curating competitive bids for you.
If buying panels outright isn't in your budget, consider leasing them. The Solar Explorer also offers $0 down subscription programs, which can save you up to 20% on your monthly energy bill. Programs like Palmetto's LightReach are a great example of what you can find there, and they can reduce your monthly energy bill considerably.
