Case Studies

During a power outage, well and septic pumps can also fail. Colin Smith and his team are developing robust inverter-battery backup systems to continuously power essential loads when we need them most.

For eight months of the year, the Bellrose family is cut off from the rest of the world. Their safety and survival depend on careful preparation, knowledge of the environment, and having the right equipment to get jobs done. Completely off-grid, their Victron Energy power system is essential to their success.

Take a tour inside Tundra Buggy One, the mobile research vehicle and broadcast studio used by Polar Bears International to study polar bears and share their story with the world. A new Pylontech LiFePO4 battery bank and Cerbo GX device now provides a robust power supply and remote monitoring capabilities in one of the most extreme environments on the planet.

Sugar Loaf Lodge & Cabins accommodates up to forty guests – in the Montana wilderness – with all the comforts of home. Their new off-grid power system includes 12 Lithium-ion rack-mount Pylontech 3,000C 40 Volt batteries with over 40Kw of storage, tripling the nameplate capacity of the battery bank and doubling the output and charging potential of their Victron Quattro inverter/charger, all while reducing generator run time and saving money on propane.

Robin's grid-independent log cabin has a small 5,000 VA Victron/Pylontech system and a significant woodpecker problem. Recently, she's installed a few Ruuvi Bluetooth sensors that allow her to measure temperature and humidity in critical areas of her home.
