Off-grid Ninja
Anyone who has seriously researched off-grid solar PV has probably come across the name of Allan Sindelar. His iconic article "Toast, Pancakes, or Waffles" (found online and in print) is a must-read for anyone contemplating off-grid solar electricity. We first encountered Allan in 2013, before he "retired" from the company he founded. He designed and installed a solar PV system for our remote off-grid home. He listened to our needs and wants, carefully explained the capabilities and limitations, and designed a system to fit our budget. Installation was on schedule and in budget. Subsequently, we contacted Allan for support in his new persona of Sindelar Solar. He answered questions by phone over the years, and recently performed a massive upgrade including replacement batteries and doubling the size of our PV array. We couldn't be more pleased with the result.
