# Can I run my whole house on solar power?

Yes, with the right solar energy system in place, you will be able to run your whole house on solar power. A stand-alone or off-grid power system is designed to work off the grid, independently from your electricity supplier.

Off-grid systems will have a large battery storage capacity, generally around a two-day supply. You can also have a back-up power supply connected, like a generator, or even connected to the national power grid, for when there isn’t enough sun to charge the batteries.
