Abstract: A method for controlling an off-grid energy system. The off-grid energy system includes a gateway energy device and an expansion energy device. The gateway energy device comprising a gateway energy device, the gateway energy device comprising a first energy source, a first battery for storing energy from the first energy source, a first power output for outputting energy from the first battery, a first output lock for controlling the first power output, and a first radiofrequency (RF) transceiver. The expansion energy device comprising a second energy source, a second battery for storing energy from the second energy source, a second power output for outputting energy from the second battery, a second output lock for controlling the second power output, and a second RF transceiver for communicating with the first RF transceiver of the gateway energy device.
