Question - with the grid tie systems, I'm assuming when the electricity from the grid goes down, so does your house, otherwise there'd be live lines out there with the risk of backfeeding and killing linemen.
A big advantage to solar as I see it would be the ability to have electricity even when the utility is down - all your neighbors would be envious!!
