Product Safety & Disclaimer

Last updated: July 29, 2026

Please read this before you buy, install, or use any product from AOG Off Grid. Off-grid power systems involve electricity, batteries, and stored energy that can cause serious injury, fire, property damage, or death if handled or installed improperly. The information below explains your responsibilities and the limits of what we can be responsible for.

1. Information Only — Not Professional Advice

Everything on this Site — product descriptions, specifications, guides, blog posts, and the results of any sizing or design tool we provide — is general information to help you shop. It is not electrical, engineering, safety, or professional installation advice, and it is not a substitute for the guidance of a licensed professional who has evaluated your specific situation.

You are responsible for determining whether a product is suitable and safe for your intended use, environment, and local requirements.

2. Professional Installation Strongly Recommended

Solar, battery, inverter, and other electrical products should be installed and commissioned by a qualified, licensed professional (such as a licensed electrician or certified solar installer). Even "low-voltage" DC systems can deliver very high currents capable of starting fires, delivering shocks, or causing arc-flash burns.

If you choose to install a product yourself, you do so entirely at your own risk. Improper installation can void manufacturer warranties, violate local codes, create fire and shock hazards, and may not be covered by your homeowner's or property insurance.

3. Electrical & Fire Safety

When working with any electrical product, always:

4. Battery Safety

Lithium (including LiFePO4), lead-acid, and other batteries store large amounts of energy and can be dangerous if misused. A short circuit, puncture, crush, overcharge, over-discharge, or exposure to extreme temperature can cause leaks, venting, fire, or explosion.

Always:

5. Solar Panels & Rooftop Work

Solar panels produce voltage whenever exposed to light and cannot simply be "switched off." Wiring panels in series can create hazardous DC voltages. Working at height on roofs or ladders carries a serious risk of falls. Use appropriate fall protection, weather conditions, and help, and follow all applicable safety practices.

6. Generators, Fuel & Carbon Monoxide

If your system includes a fuel-burning generator, operate it only outdoors, far from windows, doors, and vents, and never indoors, in a garage, or in any enclosed or partially enclosed space. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an invisible, odorless gas that can kill within minutes. Use working carbon monoxide alarms, store and handle fuel safely, and follow the generator manufacturer's instructions exactly.

7. System Builder & Sizing Tools

Any system-sizing, load-calculation, or product-recommendation tool on this Site provides rough estimates for planning and shopping convenience only. It is not an engineered design, a stamped electrical plan, or a guarantee that a given configuration will meet your actual power needs, fit together, or comply with code. Real-world results depend on installation quality, site conditions, temperature, sun exposure, battery age, and how you use the system. Always confirm your final design with the product manuals and a qualified professional before purchasing or installing.

8. Local Codes, Permits & Inspections

You are responsible for complying with all applicable laws, building and electrical codes (such as the National Electrical Code), permitting requirements, HOA rules, and utility interconnection rules that apply where you live. Requirements vary widely by location. Some installations require permits and inspection by your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Check before you build.

9. Manufacturer Instructions & Warranties Govern

Every product comes with the manufacturer's own documentation, safety warnings, ratings, and warranty terms. Those documents control the safe use of the product. If anything on this Site ever conflicts with the manufacturer's instructions or labeling, follow the manufacturer. Warranty coverage is provided by the product's manufacturer according to their terms; AOG Off Grid makes no independent warranty beyond what is stated in a specific product listing. See our Terms of Service for more on warranties and returns.

10. Intended Use & Critical Applications

Our products are intended for general off-grid, backup, recreational, and residential power use. Unless a product is expressly rated and sold for the purpose, do not rely on it for life-support, medical, aerospace, or other critical applications where a failure could lead to injury or death. If you depend on power for medical equipment, always maintain an independent, professionally specified backup.

11. Assumption of Risk & Limitation of Liability

By purchasing and using products from AOG Off Grid, you acknowledge the inherent risks of electrical and off-grid power equipment and accept responsibility for safe selection, installation, operation, and maintenance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, AOG Solutions LLC is not liable for any injury, death, fire, or property damage arising from the installation, misuse, modification, or improper use of products purchased through this Site. This section works together with the "Disclaimer of Warranties" and "Limitation of Liability" sections of our Terms of Service.

12. Recalls & Product Safety Notices

If you become aware of a recall or safety notice for a product you purchased, stop using it and follow the manufacturer's guidance. You can also check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission at cpsc.gov for current recall information.

13. Questions

If you're unsure whether a product is right for your setup, reach out through our contact page before you buy. We're happy to help point you in the right direction — but final decisions about safety and installation should always be confirmed with a qualified professional.
