Educate
We care about your autonomy with
your off-grid electrical system!
Upon pick-up of your camper van or RV, we will spend time with you to review the system and show you how it works. Our goal is to empower you to feel energy independent with your new off-grid electrical system.
We review all maintenance, troubleshooting, and care tips. We also offer on-the-road support and a 2-year warranty on all system installs.
Pricing
Due to the unique design behind each and every electrical system that we install, the prices vary depending on the system design size and complexities of the installation. Larger, more complex systems, will be more expensive than a minimalistic system.
If you are working within a certain budget, please let us know what that is so we can do our best to stay within the budget while designing a system that will support your off-grid power needs.
Our payment structure is outlined below. You can also see a few system designs and the associated cost below.
02. Install Deposit
Once the design is finalized and all parties give a thumbs up on system design and installation plan we require deposit for installation.
A deposit of 75% of the total invoice is to be paid prior to Joule ordering components for your system. We request that this deposit is made 3-4 weeks prior to installation to give ample time to order and receive all components for your system!
03. Final Payment
The final payment for your off-grid electrical system is due upon pick-up of your adventure vehicle. All final payments must be processed before heading out on your next adventure!
*Custom electrical upgrades are subject to additional labor fees if there are unforeseen complexities or complications with what was originally installed. These would be communicated to you before moving forward on the project.
01. Design Fee
We charge a flat-rate fee of $489 to start the system design process. With payment we will set up our first call to get started designing your off-grid electrical system!
It is during the design process that we will create an itemized estimate for scope of the project, collaborating with you to make sure it fits your power needs.
