Leaving civilization is now easier with this ‘off-grid utility core’

Klumpen is a seven-square-meter teepee-shaped 'off-grid utility core' that provides solar electricity, satellite broadband, a shower, toilet, and kitchen for comfortable off-grid living. Priced around $35,000 plus shipping, it's designed to be placed next to a cabin with no permits or professionals needed, featuring a 7.5kWh battery, water recycling, and an integrated heat pump. A prototype has been tested, with the first batch of ten units expected to ship in September 2026, plus a $198,000 extreme-conditions aluminum edition.
