That $30,000 solar power system will leave you with seppuku level buyers remorse.
To go off grid and live like a normal person you probably want at least 20kw of panels and 50 to 100 kwh of battery, a 120/240v15kw generator minimum, a 2 to 3kw dc generator.
For a 60kwh grid tie only system hopefully they didn't pay much more than $80,000. But that number could get a lot bigger when you have to run 3 phase 4160v lines even a relatively short distance.
