Generally the expensive part in rural locations is paying to get miles of lines in. This cannot be used offgrid. Also, when you have a long line to a rural location, and the power goes out due to an ice storm, welcome to the bottom of the repair priority list. I've been there for up to 1.5 weeks before. :) Having the solar power cut out at this point is not a good design feature. Sounds great for urban use though.
