……………How you supply your self-sufficient home with power depends on your location and your power needs. The usual options for off-the-grid power are solar, micro-hydro power, wind or a combination of solar and wind. To decide what type of system you are going to use, first determine how much energy you currently use, and see if there are any ways you can reduce that usage. Also be sure to check local codes and ordinances for restrictions on using alternative power systems. Then you can contact providers to price out options and decide which one best meets your needs.

…….The traditional choice for supplying your home with water is to drill a well. You will need a way to pump your well water, and off-grid options include solar-powered and wind turbine-powered pumps. Harvesting rainwater is another option. You can collect rainwater that falls onto your roof or other catchment surface and channel the water through gutters or other distribution systems to storage tanks. Use this water as-is to irrigate your garden, or install a pump and purification system for home use.

………Homes that aren't connected to a main sewer line usually use septic tanks, but if you are concerned about the environmental impact of septic systems or they are not permitted in your area, you may be able to avoid traditional sewage altogether. Composting toilets turn human waste into safe compost through heat, sanitization and dehydration. After the waste is fully composted, you can add it to normal soil. For the rest of your household waste water, a gray water system, which filters water before it is absorbed back into the ground, may be an option. Although gray water does not contain human waste, it can still be contaminated, and any gray water system you use must be carefully planned and adhere to local building codes and requirements.

 

………………Wood-burning stoves are an economical and effective choice for heating self-sufficient homes, and you can even buy modern wood-burning cook stoves. If a home is designed with this heating method in mind and is made airtight, a wood stove may be all you need to keep your house at a comfortable temperature. There are also systems that use solar-heated water and solar-generated electricity to circulate heat throughout the house, but these are more costly and not effective in all situations. For hot water, solar systems are both effective and economical. In warmer climates, you can use a passive or direct circulation system. If your area drops below freezing temperatures often, you will need an indirect circulation system that provides extra heat to the water through a heat exchanger.
