I’d be more impressed if they didn’t use water/sewer/natural gas, this isn’t actually off-grid if you’re still using distributed utilities. We need to dispose of our bodily waste, drink potable water, and keep ourselves warm. Drilling a well and setting up a septic system on a rural property is vastly more expensive than connecting a property to utility electrical power.
Giving up lights and receptacles is the easiest part of being ‘off grid’.
