the less money the power companies can make

Service fee will just go up. And like water you can't go "off the grid" if poles run past your house

We (m and f couple) lived off grid for 10 years with a 2kW solar and a 5/7kW inverter easily in Northern NSW.

Now back on grid with a solar sysyem (no battery) in Tassie. Hard being off grid here with solar, shitty winter sun. Were frugal anyway, so can't be fucked getting a battery. (and remote, getting anyone to do anything is problematic). I also hope to relocate OS in Q2 2026.
