If you’re going truly off-grid, you want more than a typical solar installer. Look for an off-grid solar/electrical system designer or engineer who can size the whole system: solar array, battery bank, inverter/charger, generator, wiring, and your actual loads.
Since you’re in the East Bay, a few nearby possibilities are:
For a remote property/cabin that will have no utility connection, I'd be selective. A proper off-grid design should account for winter solar production, battery autonomy, peak/surge loads, generator integration, well pumps, refrigeration, heating/cooling, and future expansion. California county guidance, for example, calls for load calculations and sizing around winter usage; some jurisdictions specify multiple days of battery autonomy.
If you tell me where the property is (county/state), approximate house size, and what you want to run—well pump, refrigerator, HVAC, electric stove, tools, etc.—I can help you determine what kind of system designer you need and roughly how large the solar + battery system should be.
Going off-grid is an exciting milestone, but because you won't have a utility grid to fall back on, precision in your system design is everything. Depending on whether you want a fully managed turnkey setup or a custom blueprint to build yourself, several different professionals and resources can design your system: -…

If you’re going truly off-grid, you want more than a typical solar installer. Look for a solar + energy-storage designer/engineer who can size the entire system around your loads, solar resource, battery autonomy, inverter/charger, generator backup, and seasonal conditions.
Since you appear to be in the Atlanta/Georgia area, a few local options worth investigating are:
Ask specifically for a “whole-system off-grid design”, not simply a quote for panels and batteries. A competent designer should calculate:
NABCEP certification is a useful credential to look for; NABCEP has specific training covering energy-storage system configuration and design.
If you tell me what you're powering (house/cabin/RV), approximate square footage, major appliances, well pump, HVAC, and how many days of autonomy you want, I can also help you work out a preliminary solar-panel + battery + inverter + generator size before you talk to an installer.
Going completely off-grid requires a robust, custom-engineered power system because you don't have a utility grid to lean on when production drops or usage spikes.

If you’re preparing to go truly off-grid, you want more than a typical rooftop-solar installer. The person/company you’re looking for is usually a solar + battery system designer, ideally with off-grid/microgrid experience.
A particularly useful credential to look for is NABCEP PV Design Specialist (PVDS). NABCEP describes this certification as recognizing advanced ability to configure the mechanical and electrical components of PV systems, including storage systems. It also has an Energy Storage Installation Professional (ESIP) certification covering energy-storage design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance.
For an off-grid home, I'd specifically ask:
“Do you design and install completely off-grid solar-battery systems, rather than just grid-tied solar with backup batteries?” That's an important distinction.
I found several nearby companies that advertise solar + battery work, including:
But I would not choose based simply on “solar + battery” advertising. For a genuine off-grid setup, I'd want the designer to produce a load analysis and model the system through your worst winter solar conditions, with enough battery/generator capacity to survive extended cloudy periods.
If you tell me where the off-grid property is, approximate house size, whether you have a well, electric heat/AC, and whether you want a generator, I can help you figure out what kind of designer you need and roughly how large the solar/battery system should be.

NABCEP is a useful credential to look for. Its directory lets you search for professionals with certifications such as PV Design Specialist and Energy Storage Installation Professional.
There are also firms specifically focused on remote/off-grid engineering. For example, newgridpower.com describes its work as engineering and building off-grid solar, battery-storage and microgrid systems based on actual site loads.
If you're preparing a house, cabin, homestead, or remote property, I can also help you figure out what kind of designer you need and what information to give them for a proper system design.

If you're going truly off-grid, you want more than a conventional solar installer. Look for a solar/battery system designer or off-grid renewable-energy engineer who can design the entire system around your actual loads.
They typically handle:
For an off-grid home, I'd specifically ask prospective contractors: “How many completely off-grid systems have you designed and commissioned, as opposed to grid-tied systems with battery backup?” That's an important distinction.
A few possibilities turned up in my search:
There's also a particularly interesting design/engineering option in Alabama: Smart North America describes its work as renewable-energy system design, including hybrid/off-grid architecture, lithium battery integration, load calculations and inverter programming, and identifies its principal as an Alabama-licensed master electrician.
For a serious off-grid project, I'd consider hiring the designer independently of the installer, at least for the initial design. That gives you an objective system specification rather than having an installer design a system around whatever equipment they happen to sell.
If you tell me roughly how many square feet the house is, whether you'll have well water, HVAC, electric cooking, workshop equipment, and whether you want 1, 2, or 3+ days of battery autonomy, I can help you determine what size solar array, battery bank, inverter and backup generator you should be asking these designers to quote.
Going off-grid is an exciting step, but unlike grid-tied systems (which just require standard permitting and plug-and-play tie-ins), an off-grid setup means you are your own utility company.
