The Off-Grid Solar Cradle (OSC)
Complete Off-Grid Power System for Solar, DC to DC and Mains Hookup
The Off-Grid Solar Cradle is your all-in-one power solution, pre-wired and ready to install. Designed for van lifers, canal boat lovers, DIYers, and off-grid adventurers, this drop-in system takes the guesswork out of electrical setups.
We build, wire, and test the entire system before shipping, so all you have to do is screw it into your van and plug in your solar panels, hook-up socket and DC-DC cable*
5 screws and a few clicks and your OSC is ready to go.
* if a DC to DC charger with MPPT is selected

The Off-Grid Power Cradle Story
With the first OSC concept built we set about finding a willing guinea pig to trial the OSC, its installation and to give us the invaluable feedback we needed to further improvie the design.
We couldn't be more grateful to Lily for her time and trust. Armed with Lily's feedback we made the final design improvements and prepared to launch the OSC.
With just 5 screws and a few clicks we don't think there's an easier way to install the beating heart of your off-grid power system in your van, boat, shed, outbuilding or anywhere you want to benefit from off-grid solar power.
After listening to so many people keen to adopt off-grid power for their van conversion, canal boat, river boat, garden shed and many other places, but so confused and worried about the wiring, tools, connectors, components and installation, we knew there had to be a better way.
So we huddled around a white board and put our heads together to think of a way to make connecting and installing the key components for an off-grid power system, quick and easy.
After many hours and lots of awful ideas we came up with the concept of the Off-Grid Power Cradle! Our incredible drawing skills brilliantly depicted what we had in mind and now came the task of making this idea a reality.
Thankfully our 3D design skills were a little more competent and from our basic design concept we set about building our first OSC.
Our first build presented a host of challenges and installation considerations we hadn't envisaged, but each time we worked the problem and developed the OSC a little more.
