Off grid power != AC power.
Duh! Wtf do I want AC for? People think theyre all going to have a stupid fridge which opens from the side to let as much heat in as possible and with a highly inneficient compressor which is tucked behind it where the heat can only escape through it. Or a giant motor to shake their clothes in (electrically heated) water! Ahahah! I swear i keep telling people the KWh is going to cost 150-300 mg of gold (0.10 - 0.20 gold $) and their eyes just glaze over; they think it sounds nuts? If they had off grid power, they might be forced to agree. So the average person will be able to afford a couple or three KWh per month. Two low-powered computers and some lights. We light the whole place with less than 5w. The mere fact that we so often use measures like kilo watts is a good tell tale of the current power glut. The powergrid rate where we are is about 0.0015 gold $ per KWh, or 100 times below sensible prices.
