Backwoods Solar Electric Systems
1589 Rapid Lightning Rd , Sandpoint, Idaho, United States

For more than 40 years, Backwoods Solar has sold customized renewable energy equipment. We sell: solar panels (also called solar modules), wind turbines, micro-hydro turbines, all balance of system components, custom-built solar panel system kits and custom-designed solar power system plans.  We know the solar energy components we sell because we live with these solar products in our homes. Firsthand experience gives us the unique ability to personalize whatever renewable energy system you need. We pride ourselves on our custom-built residential off-grid solar kits and tailor-made grid-tie solar kits, solar-direct water pumping systems, small off-grid cabin systems, RV systems, as well as commercial grid-tie systems.  We do not believe in selling pre-packaged solar equipment kits because each situation is different. We do believe in fully exploring and researching the needs associated with your solar power project; helping you understand what solar electricity products you need; and then putting together a one-of-a-kind solar energy system that is ideal for your property. We will work one-on-one with you and/or your solar panel system installer to design the solar power system that will meet your solar energy needs as well as your budget.

SOLAR PANELS

Solar panels/modules essentially work like a car battery charger, except instead of plugging it into the wall, you put it out directly in the sun. How do solar modules work, and why should you consider an off grid-power system?
