We bring energy independence to the world, freeing people from the power grid with sustainable energy solutions.
Tier 1 is changing how you power your life. We’re designing alternatives to being tied to the power grid through solar energy storage.
Use stored power to reduce reliance on the grid, or step away from it entirely.
There is an inequitable distribution of resources in all nations, both economically and in energy supply. Because of the inherent risks of energy dependency alongside the increased demand for all humankind, our mission is to provide an affordable and reliable energy security solution for communities across the world.
Rather than living with the uncertainties of a political world and the inability of infrastructure to meet rising demands, we’re taking bold steps into the era of decentralized clean power.
Our ideal world is off-grid
Off-grid living used to be full of compromise. Loud gas and diesel generators work, but they necessitate a large fuel bill and constant maintenance to keep them running. Lead acid and cobalt batteries are the history of this industry, but Tier 1 Solar is positioned to be a strong leader in the rapid deployment of the next generation technologies. By harnessing power from the sun and storing it, we can live untethered from energy companies' control over the current energy supply.
Power from the sun or other renewable energy sources have been idealized for decades. Without the ability to store power, we’ve been left unable to live with complete security. With the advancement of technology, things are different now.
Tier 1 is creating solutions at individual, community, and national levels.
We've unlocked previously unavailable lifestyles by giving you the freedom to be powered anywhere.
We're building new communities independent of the grid with flexible energy storage solutions that dramatically reduce construction times and infrastructure cost.
Breakthrough solar technologies & energy storage enable us to take on power issues in the world from a new perspective.
