Off-Grid Thinking Since The Late 1900’s For many people, the words “Off-Grid” conjure images of hippies & hermits. Of gardens & goats in some remote patch of forest. For others, it simply means flipping the bird at the power utility. At Modern Outpost, the words off-grid are synonymous with independence. A willingness to do more with less instead of less with more. To be something of a contrarian to the musings of the Anthropocene. We see off-grid thinking as the incorporation of mindfulness & sustainable practices into the daily routines of family, community, & recreation. Recognition of the difference between a ‘need’ and a ‘want’, and making educated, ethical decisions in that regard. So, welcome to Modern Outpost. A comprehensive source of solar equipment for Canadians, provided as efficiently as possible, and always with personal support.

Whether your current off-grid needs involve powering an LED light bulb in a remote farm building, keeping your camera charged during an expedition, or reducing your monthly utility bills by generating some of your own power, we hope that we can help you achieve your desired level of “off-grid”.
