What is an off-grid home and why so many expats are seeking Portugal and Spain to build them.
An off-grid home is a type of building that is not connected to the public utilities' infrastructure, such as the electrical grid, water supply, or sewer system. Instead, an off-grid home generates its own power, collects and treats its own water, and manages its own waste. That being said, an off-grid effort may be more or less self-sufficient in terms of how far along the construction methods are taking.
