An introductory workshop on off-grid solar systems will take place on 26 November 2026 at Central Hall in Hastings. This free session will cover planning and the materials and tools needed for building an off-grid system.
Learn how to plan your off-grid system, and what materials and tools you’ll need to build it.
Interested in making a 100% off-grid small solar system for sheds, workshops, trucks, or vans?
In this FREE introductory workshop you will learn how to plan your off-grid system, and what materials and tools you’ll need to build it. You’ll also learn about the different components of an off grid solar system and where to source them from.
This workshop is aimed at all levels and you don’t need a technical background to understand it.
Note: this is an information and discussion workshop, not a practical demonstration.
This workshop will be facilitated by Arran, the Green Handyman for Energise Sussex Coast. Arran lives off-grid himself and has been building off-grid workshops for over 20 years – building solar systems to power stages at festivals as well as small solar projects. He is self taught and wants to share the knowledge and skills he’s learnt along the way.
This is the first of two workshops facilitated by Arran. Workshop 2 will focus on how to size an off-grid system, for people who have made the decision to go ahead with a project. Dates for Workshop 2 are on our events listings (https://www.energisesussexcoast.co.uk/events/).
