In this episode of the Build Show, Eric visits Andrew Seelye at the G Pod project in the Texas Hill Country to explore what it truly means to build off-grid. Andrew walks Eric through the solar array powering the entire site, producing up to 17.4 kilowatts of electricity—enough to run the home, charge vehicles, and support construction from day one. Unlike traditional projects where utilities are added last, this build began with solar and water infrastructure, enabling all fabrication and construction to happen completely off-grid. They discuss energy efficiency, modular building concepts, and the scalability of storage and distribution systems. Andrew shares insights on system durability, maintenance, and why designing a structure with low energy needs solves most challenges. With modular outbuildings, rainwater harvesting, and smart design, the G Pod demonstrates a sustainable, flexible approach to modern living—without relying on the grid.
