About

Last updated: November 2025

We help everyday people live more independently, sustainably, and confidently with clear, step-by-step guidance to build more off-grid, more practical homes—lower bills, less stress. I’m building this community-inspired directory while learning alongside you – no corporate jargon, just real solutions from people who’ve done it. My goal? To become your trusted guide to practical, affordable off-grid living in a rapidly changing world.

Why We Exist

Getting to energy independence shouldn’t be confusing or sales-driven. Today, answers are scattered across forums, ads, and guesswork—so you spend hours researching and still wonder: Is this right for my home, my climate, my budget—and who can I trust to install it?

After years of working in bars and feeling stuck in “failure life,” I decided to chase my off-grid dream. But researching solutions was overwhelming – scattered forums, biased sales pitches, and no clear starting point.

So I created MyOffGridHome:

• For beginners like me, trying to make sense of solar, water, and shelter systems
• As a living library where we curate real-world solutions together
• To build income while building community (yes, I’m transparent about that)

MyOffGridHome exists to make sustainable, independent living simple, safe, and achievable—no jargon, no hype.

Our Approach & Focus

I understand every household is unique—different budgets, climates, priorities, and constraints. That’s why I focus on sharing broadly applicable principles and community experiences while concentrating on two core priorities:

1. Expanding our directory

   Continuously contacting suppliers to join our platform and grow our resource network

2. Improving your experience

   Making the site more comfortable and useful for your off-grid journey

How I Use AI

I use AI to research and write articles using research protocols I built myself to automate the process and save time. The AI conducts its own research and generates complete articles with minimal human oversight. I do not verify anything – I have no technical expertise to verify accuracy. Important limitations: I do not review content for safety and rely entirely on the AI’s research capabilities. ALWAYS hire licensed professionals for electrical, structural, or plumbing work.

How I Make Money

I may earn from affiliate links or featured directory placements at no extra cost to you. Partners don’t influence reviews or comparisons – but full disclosure: I haven’t personally tested every product listed.
