I’m technically too urban to be entirely off-grid, legally, but I see no reason I can’t minimize my draw with a separate breaker system. Whole place needs to be rewired anyway because it’s ancient. Knot and tube ancient.

But most people aren't willing to go through that, and I cant blame them because there aren't any incentives to doing so, and most people don't realize how much cheaper used solar farm panels are, so it just seems like a really bad deal. And for most, who would have it installed for them, new, maybe thats true. Used with mostly-self-install is much cheaper. Even better if the whole deal needs to be re-wired anyway.
