I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Microgreen to provide the lithium battery solution needed, in my quest to convert a trawler from diesel to electric propulsion.

I worked directly with the battery engineer Davy, and Microgreen custom built 4 - 15 kWh lithium batteries - to power my twin 30 KW electric motors, with 48 volts DC. Each motor is powered by 2 -15kWh batteries and they are in turn connected in parallel to a common bus, to equalize the draw, and to charge.

The entire Microgreen team has been more than helpful and very responsive to my questions. They provided both amazing support through the design phase and all the information I needed, to get the batteries connected into the power system. They even delivered one battery to my boat, because it needed some tweaking before installation.

The Microgreen batteries have performed approximately 10% better than specified. I have run them down to 5% with no issues which means I get 95% of the power from the batteries. I have tested them under a slow discharge at around 4 knots and fast discharge at full power, with no issues. I am more than satisfied. When using them as house batteries while anchoring out, only 3% of the battery bank is used per day to run everything, including coffee machine, microwave, electric hot water, TV, fans, water pump, and lighting.

Because of the success of the first four 15kWh batteries, I have ordered 2 more, to provide a total of 90kWh of power for next summer. I am so confident in these batteries that I plan to leave for a year and do the great loop, down the Mississippi River system and back up the East coast of the US, to the great lakes.

Thanks to Davy, RK, and Deepen, and the techs in the back (sorry don't have their names).

Microgreen's service is expert, personal, and top-notch in every way. Whether you are a cottager looking for a simple way to get solar power running (like my parents), or a hobbyist looking to learn while setting up your own system (like me), they are amazing at helping you out. Peter makes sure that you understand the benefits, costs, and limitations of what you're buying, and will help you build the perfect system without upselling.

We purchased the PowerPak, batteries, solar panels, and cables from Microgreen, then installed it ourselves. It's been up and running for more than a year now and performing great! We got remote installation support and lots of technical advice included - it made us feel very secure through the whole process. Microgreen's prices are also the best I've seen around, so I really can't recommend them enough.

A customer testimonial on Microgreen complete offgrid power system recommended for their 1500 sq ft cottage

Paul Furbacher, a DIYer, bought and installed an off-grid system from Microgreen: Solar panels, Batteries, and Power Pak.



Brad & Moira Roberts

We were searching for an off-grid system when I met Peter at the Cottage Life show several years ago. He was the most knowledgeable solar specialist I came across in my search for a system that would support our cottage.

We were given a $50,000. quote to bring in hydro. To hook up to a “forever bill”? - I knew that wasn’t going to be the solution.  After Peter and I talked about both current and future solar system possibilities, we did a usage calculation. That resulted in Peter recommending a system that would support our needs: eight 260W PV Panels facing dead south, charging a 24V battery bank of eight Surrette 6V Batteries powering a 4 KW PowerPak running 220V power into our 1500 sq ft cottage.

I’m a DIY guy and the advice, support, recommendations and trouble shooting assistance that Microgreen has provided has been awesome! Our system has been active now for about 2 years and we couldn’t be happier!

We just added the remote monitoring and auto-gen start and I love this ability to monitor my batteries and system, and start the backup propane generator remotely.  (We’ve spent only $160 in propane this past winter on cloudy and snowy days.) Highly recommend this system and Peter’s expertise and guidance.

Recommended off-grid system for B. & M. Robert's 1500 sq ft cottage: 8 solar Panels (260W each), a 24V battery bank of 8 Surrette 6V Batteries powering a 4 KW Power Pak running 220V power.



Denis Beauchesne

My house in the Bahamas is in the middle of the devastation caused by hurricane Dorian last year, and grid power is still not available today… I shipped the Power Pak along with a few solar panels down there and that absolutely changed our lives.

It was very simple to hook the Power Pak up to our existing electrical panel, turning off the main breaker first and eliminating the potential grid connection, and becoming off grid. The advice and assistance we received from Microgreen was second to none.

I would like to say how satisfied I am with the purchase of my Microgreen 4KW Power Pak.

Darrell Jarvis

I highly recommend Microgreen. I put off investing in solar equipment for years because every time I met with solar equipment suppliers they would up sell me to a system I couldn’t afford. Microgreen is quite different: they won’t let you buy anything you don’t need. I have a high level of trust in their integrity and their expertise.

Tara C.

I converted a Ford Transit into a motorhome in 2018 and had Microgreen handle all of my solar system needs. I have now been successfully on the road and off-grid for 2 years! From Ontario to BC, BC to Southern California, the system has performed as expected through many different weather situations.

Microgreen has always been very patient in explaining the workings of all of the components to ensure that I have a solid understanding of the system. They have absolutely stood behind their product and their word. A huge thanks to Peter and Davy over at Microgreen for their amazing work. I highly recommend them!
