off-grid home
Disconnected from utilities
An off-grid home operates independently of public utilities—generating its own electricity, collecting water, and managing waste without connection to municipal systems.
Solar panels, wells, and septic tanks are typical.
The term implies self-sufficiency and often appeals to those seeking independence from infrastructure or preparing for its failure: They built an off-grid home in the mountains.
