These days, electrical service is ubiquitous in residences. But in the woods and lakesides of northern Minnesota, many cabins and hunting shacks operate without power from the grid.
​
At Real Solar, we believe that you shouldn't have to leave modern conveniences behind when you take a cabin retreat. And you don't have to when you have solar panels, batteries and a generator backing you up.
​
Our dedicated team is ready to design and install an off-grid system that will keep your devices running. Every off-grid setup is different, which is why it's important to have the experts at Real Solar consult with you on your project.

Testimonials
Everyone we worked with at REAL Solar made the process so easy -- our questions were answered before we even thought of them! - Katie
While we are really impressed with how the system is working to cover our power needs (particularly in summer!) the most impressive part of the experience with Real Solar was in the exploratory phase.
We thought the guys who did the installation we very professional and did a great job. They always made sure everything was cleaned up every night and at the end of the install when they left.
