The “Guide to Off Grid Living” provides over 80 Training Guides that Provide Educational Information
June 28, 2022 (Flagstaff, Arizona) – Living-Off-Grid.com Magazine, after three years of tremendous growth due to the U.S. Government’s continued efforts to strip Americans of their civil and constitutional rights, had to figure out a better and easier way to answer the millions of questions that American citizens are asking about “How could they buy some rural land and build an Off Grid Homestead for their family?”
Due to the large pent-up demand from families seeking this knowledge, Living-Off-Grid.com Magazine decided to publish over 80 “Guides to Off Grid Living,” which can be downloaded at => https://livingoffgrid.home.blog/guide-to-off-grid-living/.
The guides are written for millions of customers, who have decided they want to learn what it takes to move to the mountains, the foothills and/or the deserts on a worldwide basis with a well-researched plan to build an Off Grid Homestead where their families will not be dependent on utility companies for power, water or gas; where they will not be dependent on grocery stores for food/drinks and not dependent on pharmacies for medicine nor local, state and federal government agencies, which are becoming more and more hostile toward American citizens that want to live out the American dream.
In less than three years, Living-Off-Grid.com magazine website has grown from zero to more than 200,000+ readers per year as more and more families are searching for the best source of information on everything they need to learn to begin living off the land.
“All you have do is watch the local evening TV newscasts to see precisely what is driving normal Americans away from the big Democrat-controlled cities,” said Robert Hoskins, Editor-in-Chief, Living-Off-Grid.com magazine. “Many career politicians are trying as hard as possible to destroy the American dream, the American family, American values and the American way of life.”
Hoskins continued, “Nobody wants to be forced to get a vaccination that doesn’t work, doesn’t stop a virus from spreading and thus far has killed thousands of people who trusted the government’s lies about safety and the efficacy of the vaccine.
God-following Americans don’t want their kindergarten through 3rd children indoctrinated by teachers that are trying to convince their kids that they should get a sex change by transgender teachers or that pedophilia is a normal sexual orientation.
They also do not want to their U.S. constitutional rights to be violated or completely revoked, nor do they want to sit by and idly watch the U.S. government transform from a democratic republic into a socialist communist government that seems to be following the same game plan that Hitler used to establish his Nazi regime in Germany that caused two global wars.
As a result of all this turmoil, many smart Americans are researching and making plans to circumvent the lifestyle of living in the city by actively learning how to:
So far, the “Guide to Off Grid Living” has been downloaded over 19,000+ times by prospective homesteaders who are thirsty for knowledge, tips, tricks and how-to articles that will help them adopt a new living off the grid lifestyle. Over 80+ free learning guides can be downloaded at:

Charleston, SC (November 15, 2021) – Sunview Solar announced today that it has rolled out special new solar installation program for new home buyers that allow home buyers to take advantage of the 26% Federal Solar Tax Credit, which expires December 31, 2022, and the 25% South Carolina Solar Tax Credit.
What Areas is this Solar Offer Available?
The Sunview Solar installation company sells solar to customers that are buying homes for sale in Ashborough East, Blackberry Creek, Bridges of Summerville, Cane Bay Plantation, Carnes Crossroads, Drakesborough, Eastwood Homes, Felder Creek, Foxbank Plantation, Highwoods Plantation, Lakes of Summerville, Lakes of Cayne Bay, Legend Oaks Plantation, Nexton, North Creek Village, Old Rice Retreat, Pine Forest Country Club, The Ponds, Reminisce at the Promenade, Spring Grove Plantation, Summer Trace, Strawberry Station, Summers Corner, Sunburst Lakes, Sunnyfield, Weatherstone, Wescott Plantation, White Gables and other master planned communities in the following zip codes: 29420, 29437, 29447, 29448, 29471, 29472, 29477, 29483, 29484, and 29485.
The best homes for solar have a south-, west- or east-facing rooftop, at least 500 sq. ft. of open space to install solar. The same pricing outlined above is available to any homeowner that would like to install solar on their rooftop for a very affordable price.
Solar sales commissions are paid to realtors, real estate agents, builders, etc. for referrals at closing.
Residential customers are now rolling the cost of solar power into their home’s mortgage similar to the way people have been buying swimming pools at the same time they purchase a new home for years so there is no money out-of-pocket requirement. Customers will enjoy a home with a zero-carbon footprint with no electricity bills other than a small monthly fee to remain connected to the grid.
The Price of Solar Has Been Falling and Is Now Very Affordable
“It was surprising to us when we first began selling solar in South Carolina ten years ago that customers were not aware that the price of solar has fallen 82% since 2010,” said top Eric Molton, Sunview Solar’s CEO. “Many people in South Carolina do not realize that there are Federal and State Solar Tax Credits that are good until the end of 2021 that will pay approximately 51% of the total cost of a residential solar power installations. On average, a 5-kW solar system will generate more than $30,000 worth of free electricity over the next 25-years. Even more if electric rates continue to go up.”
How to Get a Free Customized Solar Quote
To get the best price in South Carolina and find out how much it would cost to eliminate 100% of a customer’s electricity bill, please contact Robert Hoskins at (512) 627-6622. All we need to generate a solar proposal for your home to zero out its electric bill is one copy of your monthly South Carolina residential electric bill. Just take a picture of one of your electric bills and text it to the number above.

What to look for in a property to live off grid?
1. Go to http://Weather.com and type in the nearest big city
2. Then click on on the Monthly Tab or https://weather.com/weather/monthly/. This will show you the high temperatures for the summer and the low temperatures for the winter.
3. Google “how many sunny days” for the nearest big city. This will be important when figuring how much solar power you can generate with solar panels.
4. Google “how deep the water table is” for the county or state to see how deep you will need to drill a well to hit water.
5. Google “how many inches of rain/snow and what kind of wind” the area gets on an annual basis. This will tell you how well you might do with Harvesting Rainwater.
6. Google “what garden growing zone” your property is located. Once you know what growing zone you are in, then you can Google what garden vegetables, plants, bushes and trees can be grown in this region. This will tell you what kind of food can you grow and harvest to support your family.
7. Google “hunting and fishing regulations” for the state or county. This will tell you what wildlife you can hunt and what type of fish/sea food might be available to harvest.
8. Google the driving distances to: grocery stores, feed stores, farmers markets, a post office, FedEx/UPS offices, hardware stores like ACE/HomeDepot/Lowes, dentist/doctor offices, emergency resources such as fire departments, EMS ambulance services, pharmacies, homeless shelters, social services and law enforcement services. One day when you least expect it, you may need one or more of these services.
9. What natural resources do you have to build with? Trees for lumber, rocks for foundations and walls, etc.
10. Download and learn how to use Google Earth. Use it to analyze areas that look good from satellite photos. Also visit https://www.lat-long.com/ and select your state. This will give you to GPS coordinates for every spring, seep, stock tank reservoir, within several miles of your property’s GPS coordinates. Google Earth and Lat-Long are one of the most useful tools I have ever used for scouting areas for hunting, fishing, hiking, backpacking and kayaking. If you use these tools and record handwritten notes onto printed 7.5 Minute quadrangle maps, you will be able to move cross country without ever being seen. All you need is a compass and some good. binoculars. You will never wonder what is on the other side of that ridge or mountain because you have virtually scouted every single feature with 20 miles of your property.
Have you recenty purchased land in Arizona and are now searching for construction services to help you make necessary improvements to your land at the most affordable price possible?
All members of the Arizona OffGrid Construction Services Cooperative will enjoy affordable construction services since we are a non-profit organization. We provide many different types of services that are provided at cost or very near cost plus enough to pay our employees enough to make good salary for working hard every day to help our customers carve out a homestead on the raw land they have purchased.
Our construction crews can do everything from building t-post / solar-powered electric fences to keep out cattle, to using heavy machinery to bulldoze new roads and level out drive ways, to clearing out and removing trees, tree stumps, bushes, rock and boulders to make room for a building gravel pads for RVs/double-wide trailers as well as digging and pouring cement footers for pier-and-beam and cement foundations for new homes, cabins, sheds and manufactured homes.
Need a well drilled, water lines dug and pipes laid, or a new septic system installed? No problem! We are a non-profit, cooperative and will build all of these things for most affordable price possible.
In addition, we have a staff of licensed contractors, including:
August 25, 2020 – Cascade Solar is now offering turnkey solar power systems in 1-kW, 3-kW, 5-kW, 8-kW and 10-kW plug and play configurations for best price you will find anywhere in the United States. All of their systems include premium -0/+5% solar panels, 97% efficiency power inverters, 12v 250 Ah AGM batteries, combiner boxes, PV electricity wiring, MC4 connectors, and roof or ground mount racking systems.
Each one of the solar power arrays featured below offers the best prices that were negotiated due to Cascade’s high-volume discounts. All of these systems include at least one battery and a power inverter with plenty of room to add additional strings of solar panels as a homestead expands.
In other words, these systems are engineered to make it easy to add more solar panels and batteries as more and more solar electricity is needed or as the customer has more funds to spend on solar on a year-by-year basis.
The U.S. 26% federal solar tax credit expires on 12/31/20. In addition to the great prices, customers who pay taxes at the end of the year can write off 26% of the total cost of their solar system installation on their 2020 federal tax return. Some states also offer solar tax credits.

For most off grid sheds, cabins and homes in the United States, one of the solar systems above should provide more than enough solar electricity to power your entire off grid homestead. These off grid systems are not designed to be used with a grid-tied home, but will accomodate a backup generator should it be needed during long periods of cloudy days when needed to charge up the battery bank.
Most of these systems price out to be less than a $3.00 per watt, which is way more affordable than most solar installation companies will charge you. You will save thousands of dollars by doing all of the solar installation work yourself.
We do recommend hiring a journeyman electrician to oversee the wiring and grounding portion of the installation. And maybe a general handyman to help with pouring the cement footers for the ground mount and digging trenches and/or installing conduit pipe when running wiring underground from the array to the house or utility closet where the batter banks are located.
All of solar power kits, ranging from 1-kW to 10-kW system include everything you’ll need including solar panels, power inverter with built in MPPT charge controller, batteries, wiring and the racking system for a ground mount. They are complete turnkey solar systems that will provide sufficient electricity to power entire homes and/or businesses.
To figure out the how much solar your home will need, make a list of all the appliances you use in your current home: satellite dish, TV, computer, kitchen appliances, refrigerator, freezer, washer/dryer, lights, etc. You can either use a Kill a Watt Meter or an electric calculator to calculate out how much electricity everything uses. Another way to estimate electric needs is to gather your last 12 months of electric bills to see how many total kWh you are using now on a monthly basis and add up the last 12 months. Most homes use about 30-kWh per day or 900-kWh per month.
A 1-kW of solar power panels typically requires 100 square feet or less of space. So 1-kW of panels will take up approximately 100 sq. ft. of space. 3-kW would take up to 300 sq. ft. 10-kW will need 1,000 sq. ft. Solar Panels and batteries should be as close as possible to where the electricity will be used to prevent line loss.
The amount energy that can be generated by solar panels is dependent on how many sun hours your homestead receives each day. PVWatts is a good resource for determining how many watts your system will generate. Or you can look at a solar sun hour map below. In the southwest United States, most places in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas will receive 5 sun hours during winter months and up to 8 hours of sun during the summer months.
Actual power generated will vary based on location, equipment and installation factors. Refer to your electric utility bill to find the actual kWh used per month and then find the solar system that produces a similar amount of kWhs.
A typical solar ground-mounted system for a home can be installed within one or two weekends once a permit is obtained from your city or county. After that, it’s just several easy steps until you’re system is producing solar electricity from the sun’s endless and free energy.
Any licensed general, electrical or solar contractor can install our solar kits. If you select to hire a contractor to install your solar kit, you should expect to pay approximately $1.00 per watt for labor, wire, conduit, fittings, breakers and other miscellaneous electrical components to complete the solar system installation.

Fill out this form so we can review your property location, examine possible shade from tree cover and calculate the number of solar hours that your property should receive and how many kWhs your solar system should produce.
Austin, Texas (May 26, 2020) – Living Off Grid Magazine announced today that it is now offering a State-by-State Directory of the Best Off Grid Properties for Sale in the United States as well as a Free Guide to Off Grid Living that details what is takes to start living off the grid for every state in United States.
The State-by-State Off Grid Land for Sale Directory and Guide to Off Grid Living were created to meet the pent up demand from city dwellers who are now actively seeking to buy rural ranch or farmland properties, then build an off the grid homestead due to these recent events:
These events have caused many quick thinking Americans to start shopping for the “best places” in United States to buy an “off grid” or “rural” piece of property so they could head for the hills to start setting up self-sustaining homesteads that would survive even if utility companies started shutting off critical services such as electricity, natural gas and water services and grocery stores were suddenly sold out of meat, vegetables and other food supply items.
Offgrid homesteads can replace on-grid electiricty with solar / wind power, and on-grid water with rainwater collection and grocery store food with homegrown gardens and live stock so that there is no need to be dependent on civilization to make ends meet.
“Regardless of whose fault it was for causing the COVID 19 pandemic, Americans are now frantically searching for 10 to 100 acre parcels of off grid raw land where they can distance themselves faraway from police state governments that are now threating to go door-to-door enforcing mandatory COVID19 testing and forcing citizens to inject unproven vaccinations, which may kill more people than the actual Coronavirus itself,” said Robert Hoskins, Living-Off-Grid.com’s Editor. “We’ve seen our Facebook (FB) Off Grid Homes Discussion Group’s membership numbers increase significantly. In the past 3 months, we have seen growth rates of more than 60% rising from from 2,800 members in March 2020 to 4,624 members in May 2020. Our actual increases were 15% in March, 22% in April, and another 25% forecast by the end of May.”
Facebook Off Grid Living: Prepping to Live Off the Grid Growth Stats 2020
“Our website’s Guide to Off Grid Living traffic also saw significant growth. For the entire year in 2019, we attracted around 2,690 readers that generated 5,230 page views.”
“Looking at the numbers for the first 5 months of 2020, our circulation has increased from 2,690 to 17,973 readers who have generated approximately 36,331 page views, up 6,930%. If this trend continues the magazine will have more than 41,000 readers generating 87,000 page views by then end of 2020.”
“As a result of the massive pent up the demand for ‘Off Grid’ information we’ve even been getting calls from TV reality series program directors asking us to help them put together reality TV show treatments and story ideas for them to begin producing new off grid reality TV shows,” Hoskins added.
“After surveying more than 6,640 off-grid FB group members, we’ve found that our members would be most interested in helping TV producers and program directors putting together an Off Grid version of PC Magazine, but with editorial targeting off grid homesteaders, which would include Off Grid Product Roundups, Off Grid Buyer’s Guides and Off Grid Equipment Bakeoffs to help off-gridders make educated purchase decisions for big ticket items such as rainwater collection cisterns, aquaponic garden setups, high-end wood-burning stoves and solar power arrays that can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000.”
In addition, members stated that the off grid industry lacks an organized supply chain of value-added resellers and distributors or rural area buying cooperatives where off grid customers can see live demonstrations of working products and take education courses to help them make better purchase decisions.
Many feel that establishing off grid buying cooperatives would be a great way to generate economic development in very poor rural areas and counties where jobs are extremely difficult to find and where off grid communities are beginning to see rapid growth and expansion. Buying cooperatives are the perfect way to generate loans and grants requests for the USDA, which can be the driving force in rural economic development.
Specialized training classes are esssential for helping educate a local workforce installers, dirt movers, septic system installers, home builders, rainwater collection and solar installation experts that newcomers can turn to for expert installation of off grid products and services that every rural homestead will need. This process will generate a workforce of installers that can start news businessses that will would create good paying jobs as well as provide lots of installation companies that compete for new land owners business. Competition for these new products and services helps drive prices down and makes it very affordable to build new off grid homesteads.
Living-Off-Grid.com provides a magazine with circulation of ~18,000+ readers and two Facebook Discussion Groups with ~ 6,640 members and business pages that allow people to follow, like and share information about what it takes to start a living-off-the-grid lifestyle anywhere in the United States.
