> While rooftop solar does allow you to go completely off-grid, if you still want to have a grid around Why would you want to have a grid around? Friends have been entirely off-grid in the Yukon for over 7 years now. They have a large, modern house with every convenience. Last time they tried to switch house insurance the insurance company didn't want to give them a policy because they don't have "stable" power supply. My buddy replied by asking how many power outages the insurance person had been through in Whitehorse in 7 years (easily a few a year)... his off-grid setup has never had a single outage in 7 years. So who has the "unstable" power supply?
