From the off-grid journey of Nick Belfort — practical solutions tested on my Arizona homestead. See the full story here.

The Fire Was 20 Miles Away — But The Power Went Out Here

Last summer, smoke filled the sky above northern Arizona. It wasn't our town on fire — but it didn’t matter. One transformer down and the lights went dark anyway.

That night, my son asked me why the fridge wasn’t working. My neighbor asked if we could charge her CPAP machine. I lit candles and sat in the dark, wondering how I let this happen — again.

I had tried to build a solar system before. Panels, wires, an inverter... It worked, sort of. But it was unstable and nothing like I’d hoped.

After that fire, I searched for something better. Something real.

The Blueprint That Changed Everything

That’s when I found Solar Safe.

A step-by-step blueprint. No roof panels, no electrician, no guesswork. Just a clear, simple plan I could build in my garage using $200 in materials — including a car battery.

In 4 hours, I had a real off-grid power station. It runs our lights. Charges phones. Runs a small fan. Kept the fridge alive long enough to save the meat.

It Wasn’t About the Power Bill Anymore

I didn’t build this to save money. I built it because I’m done waiting for the system to take care of us.

Now when the sky turns orange or the grid goes down, I don’t panic. I plug in, switch on, and sleep knowing we’re covered.
