Off Grid Essentials an Authorized EG4 Supplier & Installer - Prather, California

Very happy with our off grid installation by Firebear/Off Grid Essentials. A fully permitted install with the county that had us (literally) flip the switch off of PG&E and on to fully independent power with batteries.

We managed to get the install done without requiring any PG&E interconnect delays or NEM agreements by using a 3-way switch ([Grid] - [Off] - [Solar+Battery]). This also kept the grid as an option for an emergency situation for the minor cost of $11/mo (minimum PG&E charge) which beats needing a full home generator that never gets turned on!

Thanks to the switch we kept the house at a cool 70-71 degrees during the middle of summer this year (and cool 67 in the bedroom at night), while also being able to charge our EV! Honestly we're trying to find ways to consume more power just so it doesn't go to waste after the batteries are full!

FireBear and his amazing crew are the best of the best! These guys made our off grid solar dreams a reality. After trying to find a company for the last 5 years that would be able to competently install a system for us, with lots of requirements way outside the cookie cutter normal, we had just about given up. As a last ditch effort we asked around on some of our off grid solar Facebook groups and Off Grid Essentials came highly recommended. I reached out to FireBear and he responded immediately and the whole process was so effortless and enjoyable. He and his crew are honest, capable, intelligent people who can problem solve and know their stuff! So thankful to have made the connection and now our property is running on solar!

Firebear is an honest man of his word. Very knowledgeable and a delightful person.

I had the pleasure of working with Fire Bare's solar company, and I couldn't be more impressed with their honesty and trustworthiness. From the initial consultation to the final installation, Fire Bare and his team demonstrated a high level of professionalism and integrity.

They took the time to thoroughly explain the benefits of solar energy and how it would impact my energy consumption and savings. Fire Bare's knowledge and expertise in the field were evident, and he made sure to address all my concerns and answer every question I had.

Throughout the installation process, Fire Bare's team worked efficiently and with great attention to detail. They were respectful of my property and left the work area clean and tidy once the job was completed. The system they installed has been working flawlessly, and I am already experiencing savings on my energy bills.

What truly sets Fire Bare's solar company apart is their commitment to customer satisfaction. Fire Bare himself stayed in touch after the installation, ensuring everything was functioning as expected and offering assistance whenever needed.

If you're looking for a solar company that you can trust, I highly recommend Fire Bare and his team. Their honesty, expertise, and dedication to delivering quality service are second to none. Thank you, Fire Bare, for helping me make a positive impact on the environment while saving money! 🌞💚

I have hired a tremendous number of companies and laborers to work on my house and property this year. Of all of these, FireBear was the outstanding, consummate professional. Best service, best price, lightning fast installation, and a stellar, personable demeanor. Highly knowledgeable, punctual, and availing after job is completed if there are any further questions. Easy to see there is pride in workmanship. TY, FireBear, I love my solar dual swing gate opener and my dusk-to-Dawn pillar lights and drive up metal posts with entry/exit keypads. I feel like I’m back in L.A.! Greatly appreciated! A job meticulously done! Bravo!👏🏻-Dawn L. Bricker

PG&E power just went out at my house for the third time this summer. I was watching tv and didn’t even notice. The lights, tv and air conditioner were all on and there wasn’t even a flicker. Thanks Firebear at Off Grid Essentials for installing my inverter, solar panels and battery. I am always up and running 24 hours a day. The installation process was quick and stress free. This system has almost eliminated my PG&E usage too. Thanks.

Thanks to them during yet another power outage in our city we were able to plug in all 3 of our fridge/freezers, not knowing when the power might come back on, but confident in the knowledge that the power truck they helped us with would take care of $100’s of not $1000+ worth of fresh and frozen food! The next step is that they will help us use this Power Truck full time for some essentials in our home! Their knowledge and expertise in all things solar as well as “off grid” solutions is second to none!

Off Grid Essentials, is essentially the best solar company around.
And best of all. They help you get what you really need and at a reasonable price. I now can run all my essentials for the house. Totally without Power company.

These guys are top notch.

Best of all. Power company isn’t needed.

Thanks for the great service.

His direction helped us tremendously! We were trying to go off the grid and it was impossible to find anyone. He came out and got us set up with the right equipment and had it all ordered and delivered ahead of schedule. Great dude, definitely someone you want setting up your system.
