A Redditor shared how they created an off-the-grid life for themselves in the Philippines.
The post included four photos of their setup and was titled, "Off-grid in the Philippines and why I think going off-grid overseas could work for you."
In a comment, the poster explained their system: "a 16kw array of bifacial panels, 16kw Deye inverter and 30kw of LifePo4 batteries."
They said the Philippines doesn't have permit requirements for solar panels, so the installation cost was low. They also noted hired help was extremely affordable.
Their post included a photo of a chicken coop and a number of the animals. The OP said each chicken cost just $3 and provided them with eggs. They seemed to have everything they needed to thrive, and they wanted to let others know that this kind of life is possible.
Living off the grid comes with independence, fewer bills, and a satisfying sense of self-sufficiency. You can save money and have a lifestyle that helps the planet. Off-grid living requires less resources that damage Earth, such as oil, natural gas, and coal. This helps create a cooler, cleaner future for everyone.
