About Us

Welcome to Grid Down — where resilience meets innovation. Founded in 2020 by Andrew Bucchin and Rowdy (Tag) Meyer, Grid Down was born from a commitment to address a growing need in communities: affordable, reliable, and EMP-hardened energy storage systems designed to offer independence and peace of mind in an uncertain world. Scroll down to learn more about Grid Down and our founders.

Grid Down began as Andrew Bucchin’s vision, driven by a simple but powerful goal: to make high-quality energy storage solutions accessible to people who need them the most. He saw the vulnerabilities in our energy grid and understood that many communities and households felt unequipped to handle prolonged power outages and emergencies. Andrew recognized that traditional energy storage solutions often came with prohibitive costs and inadequate protection against electromagnetic pulse (EMP) events, which can permanently damage electronics. With the determination to solve these problems, Andrew quickly brought in Rowdy (Tag) Meyer—a trusted partner and business expert—to assist Andrew in building a company capable of transforming energy storage for the better.

Since then, Grid Down has worked tirelessly to design and deliver EMP-hardened systems that offer more than just energy backup. Our products are engineered to withstand extreme conditions and are rigorously tested to meet high standards of durability and performance. We believe in standing by our work, which is why we offer one of the best warranties in the industry—giving our customers confidence that their systems are built to last.

What makes us different? It’s our commitment to quality, affordability, and community support. We understand that energy independence should not come at an exorbitant price, and we’re dedicated to providing cost-effective solutions without sacrificing durability or reliability. Our systems are designed not only to be a backup during a power outage but also to bring long-term value to our customers, offering a level of preparedness that is unmatched.

Our approach is deeply rooted in community values, and we are honored to support individuals, families, and businesses across the country. By choosing Grid Down, you’re not just investing in an energy system—you’re joining a community that believes in the power of resilience and self-reliance. We’re here to support you through every step, from system selection to installation and ongoing maintenance.
