How Much Power Does The "Off-Grid" Shop Need

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
For those following along with the development of Jefferson Electric’s new Off-Grid warehouse, we’ve previously wired receptacles and 8’ tube LEDs into the shop such that all that was left to do was pull our main feed. We handed the reins to the apprentices and are now back to verify their quality work.

We hope this video answers 2 questions:
1. How much power would I, an average DIY viewer, need in a secondary structure shop/shed?
2. What are the safety and quality considerations that a master electrician knows to look for in such a project?

If either of those questions are on your mind, hop on in! If the instruction in this video is unclear or skew to what you are searching for, feel free to comment below for additional assistance.
