Plan your off-grid system

Help us to understand what you need. Tell us how you travel, what you want to power and what matters most. No technical knowledge needed- leave that to us!

Your requirements

Off-Grid Configurator

Completing this configurator will give us an understanding of your requirements and the information we need to answer your questions.

If we are busy in the workshop, you can use the configurator to tell us what you’re looking for. We can then review your it before getting back to you.

Complete as much of the questionnaire as you can. You don’t need to understand batteries, inverters, solar controllers or charging systems — that’s our job.

Your answers will help us to understand how you travel, what you want to power and what can be achieved for your vehicle, taking into account available space and your budget.

Step 1

Tell us about your vehicle

Basic vehicle information helps us consider space, payload and compatibility.

Vehicle type

Step 2

How do you normally travel?

Choose the description that comes closest to your typical touring.

Step 3

How long would you like to stay off grid?

Think about the time between driving the vehicle or connecting to mains electricity.

Step 4

When and where do you travel?

Season, location and how often you move can make a significant difference to charging and solar performance.

Seasons — select all that apply

Touring region — select all that apply

How long do you usually stop?

Step 5

What do you want to power?

Simply select what you would like to use away from electric hook-up. You do not need to know watts or amps.

Everyday 12V equipment

Cooking and kitchen equipment

Other higher-powered equipment

Step 6

What do you already have?

It is completely fine to choose “not sure”. MACSUK can establish the details when inspecting your vehicle.

Leisure batteries

Solar

Inverter

Charging while driving

Step 7

What level of independence do you want?

Choose the statement that comes closest. This describes your goal, not a technical specification.

Step 8

Space and payload

Larger off-grid systems need somewhere to live, and everything added to the vehicle also adds weight.

Potential equipment space

Storage you do not want to lose?

Current weight and payload known?

Step 9

Budget and priorities

This helps MACSUK identify what is realistically achievable and where your budget will make the greatest difference.

Approximate complete-installation budget

If compromises are needed, what matters more?

Choose your three most important priorities

Select up to three priorities.

For example: We tour Spain for three months each winter, move every 2–3 days and would like to use an induction hob, coffee machine and hairdryer.
