For a true off-grid setup, you want more than a conventional solar installer. The person/company you’re looking for is typically an off-grid solar designer, solar engineer, or design-build solar contractor who specializes in PV + battery storage + inverter + generator integration.
A good designer will calculate:
NABCEP is a useful credential to look for. Its directory lets you search for professionals with certifications such as PV Design Specialist and Energy Storage Installation Professional.
There are also firms specifically focused on remote/off-grid engineering. For example, newgridpower.com describes its work as engineering and building off-grid solar, battery-storage and microgrid systems based on actual site loads.
If you're preparing a house, cabin, homestead, or remote property, I can also help you figure out what kind of designer you need and what information to give them for a proper system design.

If you're going truly off-grid, you want more than a conventional solar installer. Look for a solar/battery system designer or off-grid renewable-energy engineer who can design the entire system around your actual loads.
They typically handle:
For an off-grid home, I'd specifically ask prospective contractors: “How many completely off-grid systems have you designed and commissioned, as opposed to grid-tied systems with battery backup?” That's an important distinction.
A few possibilities turned up in my search:
There's also a particularly interesting design/engineering option in Alabama: Smart North America describes its work as renewable-energy system design, including hybrid/off-grid architecture, lithium battery integration, load calculations and inverter programming, and identifies its principal as an Alabama-licensed master electrician.
For a serious off-grid project, I'd consider hiring the designer independently of the installer, at least for the initial design. That gives you an objective system specification rather than having an installer design a system around whatever equipment they happen to sell.
If you tell me roughly how many square feet the house is, whether you'll have well water, HVAC, electric cooking, workshop equipment, and whether you want 1, 2, or 3+ days of battery autonomy, I can help you determine what size solar array, battery bank, inverter and backup generator you should be asking these designers to quote.
Going off-grid is an exciting step, but unlike grid-tied systems (which just require standard permitting and plug-and-play tie-ins), an off-grid setup means you are your own utility company. Total system reliability depends heavily on precise load calculations, battery chemistry selection, and localized climate…
Going off-grid is an exciting step, but unlike grid-tied systems (which just require standard permitting and plug-and-play tie-ins), an off-grid setup means you are your own utility company. Total system reliability depends heavily on precise load calculations, battery chemistry selection, and localized climate data.
Several different professionals, companies, and resources handle the design of off-grid solar and battery systems:

Yes. For an off-grid property, you want a solar + battery system designer/engineer, ideally someone experienced specifically with off-grid systems, not just ordinary grid-tied rooftop solar.
A good designer should calculate:
NABCEP-certified professionals are a particularly good starting point. NABCEP has a searchable professional directory that includes PV Design Specialists, PV Installation Professionals, and Energy Storage Installation Professionals.
There are also firms that specialize in the engineering/design side rather than simply selling an installation. For example, Clear Skies Engineering specifically describes its work as feasibility analysis and complete solar/storage system design, and its team has experience with off-grid systems.
I found several local companies worth investigating, including:
For a true off-grid homestead, I'd favor an engineer/designer who will give you a load analysis and system design before selling you equipment. NABCEP's own training materials specifically identify load analysis, battery-bank design, equipment selection, and electrical integration as core parts of battery-based PV design.
If you tell me where the property is, whether it's a cabin/home/RV, approximate square footage, and what you want to run (well pump, refrigerator, HVAC, workshop, etc.), I can help you figure out what type of designer you need and roughly how large the solar/battery system should be.

When going off-grid, finding the right professional to design your solar and battery system is different from traditional grid-tied solar . Standard rooftop solar companies typically focus on grid-tied or simple hybrid backup setups, whereas true off-grid design requires meticulous load calculations, geographic sun-hour analysis, and generator integration.
The primary entities that design off-grid solar battery systems include:
To help narrow down which type of designer you need, tell me:
For an off-grid home, you want a **solar + energy-storage system designer**, ideally someone who specializes specifically in **stand-alone/off-grid PV systems**, rather than a typical grid-tied solar salesperson. They typically design: - **Solar array size** — enough production for your worst solar season.

They typically design:
A good credential to look for is NABCEP. NABCEP specifically has training in Off-Grid PV System Load Analysis and Design and advanced battery-based stand-alone system design. coursecatalog.nabcep.orgwww.cleanenergyreviews.info It also has an advanced Energy Storage Installation Professional certification covering storage-system design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance.
For a serious off-grid installation, I'd look for one of these:
I'd be cautious about a company whose primary business is selling standard grid-tied solar and simply adds batteries to the proposal. Off-grid design requires detailed load analysis and consideration of seasonal solar production, battery capacity, inverter surge requirements, and backup generation.
If you tell me where the property is, approximate house size, and whether you want 100% solar or solar + generator, I can help you figure out what kind of designer/contractor you need and what qualifications to look for.

Since you're in the Chicago/Orland Park area, a few nearby companies worth contacting are:
One important distinction: "battery backup" isn't necessarily "off-grid." Many installers primarily design grid-tied systems that keep selected circuits running during an outage. A true off-grid system has to generate and store enough energy to operate without the utility, including through periods of poor solar production.
For a serious off-grid design, I'd ask the designer to provide:
Illinois also has an important wrinkle: state solar incentive programs generally aren't designed for fully off-grid systems. The Illinois Solar for All/Illinois Shines framework is primarily oriented toward qualifying grid-connected PV, so don't let an installer sell you an "off-grid" design based on incentives that won't actually apply.
If you tell me what you're powering (house, cabin, acreage, workshop, etc.), approximate square footage, whether you have electric heat/well/septic, and whether you want to survive 1, 3, or 7+ cloudy days, I can help you figure out roughly how large the solar array, battery bank, inverter and backup generator should be before you talk to an installer.
Going off-grid is an exciting move! Designing a reliable, safe, and code-compliant off-grid solar and battery system usually involves professionals who specialize in renewable energy engineering. Here is a breakdown of who designs these systems and how you can work with them:
