Welcome again to the Off-Grid "Do it yourself" platform!

This is a place where people, households, organisations or communities can learn about technical solutions or get/exchange information, knowledge, research and their own experiences of building and living with them. Even though these might already be smart choices for both us and the nature, there is still room for improvement.

​We invite you to join us on this journey!
