All UK Off-Grid Hardware, Backup Power, Water & Radio Systems
Every hardware system in our UK catalogue is bench-verified against British domestic electrical (BS 7671), radio spectrum (Ofcom IR 2030), and potable water (WRAS / BS EN) standards.
Unlike generic outdoor marketplaces that list untested imports with US 110V plugs or illegal FCC 915MHz radio firmware, Off-Grid Academy stocks and configures hardware specifically for Great Britain. Our portable and modular LiFePO4 power systems operate at 230V 50Hz pure sine wave (<2% THD) with UK BS 1363 13A sockets and Grade-A EVE prismatics.
Our radio and mesh communications shelf separates 100% licence-exempt UK 868MHz LoRa Meshtastic nodes (set to 869.525MHz under Ofcom IR 2030/1/19) and receive-only SDR/weatherfax scanners from rugged Yaesu VHF/UHF handhelds and Xiegu G90 20W HF NVIS skywave transceivers for licensed UK Foundation, Intermediate, and Full operators.
Below is the index of the UK hardware we list across power, solar, water filtration, thermal warmth, perimeter security, offline compute, and austere trauma response.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should an 868MHz Meshtastic radio be set up for UK Ofcom compliance?
Before first use, install the latest stable Meshtastic firmware and set the region to EU_868, which uses the UK primary frequency slot (869.525 MHz, 10% duty cycle, <=500mW ERP) for licence-exempt operation.
Can I order complete multi-hardware project kits in a single click?
Yes. Both our Hardware Store and Field Journal articles allow you to add pre-matched multi-item kits (such as our Combi Boiler Backup Kit or 72-Hour Family Starter Kit) directly to your basket.
