Grid power is in many ways wonderful, it’s probably more reliable then a home system if you take into account all the maintenance you have to do and things will break and power stops till YOU fix it (lay in a good supply of spare parts or you could be out of power till they get shipped to you or a good sized generator and fuel)

Grid power (from the customers viewpoint) is self repairing, it goes of (rarely) and then comes back on in short order. It’s also less expensive then any electricity you can make.


But I still would like to be off-grid.
