I would say the idea is, you're not dependent on the grid. You can use it, you can contribute to it, and the grid is still a necessary part of the energy ecosystem (along with fossil fuels), but renewables mean a sub-ecosystem is tolerant to interruptions at the grid level and may even be able to operate completely independently.
