The Off Grid Box™ (OGB) is an all-in-one, self-contained utility system that enables independent living in any environment, whether by choice or as a result of natural disasters.
Fast facts:
-
The OGB does not connect to the grid, allowing users to be independent.
-
Once users pay for an OGB, they do not have to pay any energy bills. They can save money.
-
The OGB is pollution free. It takes nothing from the environment and releases nothing, allowing users to live with zero impact.
The solution
The OGB can be used in rural or suburban areas. It integrates photovoltaic and wind energy production, rainwater capture for domestic use and family agriculture, sewage sanitation with solar thermal energy, the production of hydrogen as a gas for cooking, etc. The photovoltaic roof directs rainwater with a gutter in the 1,500 liters lower cistern. A high-efficiency pump with mechanical and UV filters sterilizes the water to be used at home, for animals or in the garden. Users can add a timer for irrigation, additional water tanks and/or dilute the well water if it’s too hard or polluted. Self-producing electricity from sun or wind can provide up to 20 kilowatts of power, store it safely in robust batteries and convert it to alternating current to be used just like electricity from a grid. The solar thermal patented system heats up the water and is integrated with pellet boilers (or pellet/wood) to heat up the whole building.
Helping the planet
The Off Grid Box™ harvests rain, sun and wind and emits no carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Helping people
Installing an OGB allows communities to live independently from the grid.
Scaling Up
OGB can be implemented in similar rural or suburban areas in other countries.
