It's pointless to go off-grid if it's easily accessible. The grid is essentially a more efficient, cost-effective, and unlimited, battery.

Off-grid only makes sense in markets where the utility rates are crazy, or the grid is too remote.

Perhaps it makes sense if the power needs are extremly low.
