“We have now lived in our 3,000 square foot off-grid home through all the seasons. With thirty solar panels, two lithium batteries for storage, and a back-up propane generator to help support us through the shoulder season, we feel more connected to nature and life than ever, and with no notable sacrifices. Big thanks to Shift, for their deep expertise, professionalism, and incredible service – during installation and at every point of contact since.”
