A buddy of mine recently bought a vacation home in Colorado. The home is off-grid with solar panels and batteries. The nearest electric pole is roughly mile away at the street. It would cost roughly $48k to have electricity service extended to the home. This is one example where it is actually more cost effective to go off grid. The only limitation are the batteries. A new set of batteries is $3,000 and they need replacing approximately every 8 - 12 years. Lead Acid battery technology had its drawbacks due to sulfation of the plates. I am hopeful Super Capacitors will one day replace traditional Lead Acid batteries and offer lighter weight, longer life, and eventually lower cost, imo.

Being I live by myself, my costs are lower. But I turn off power to most every thing at night. During the day, I only have the clock stove, microwave clock, alarm clock, TV, Computer and phone chargers on. At night, only the 3 clocks are on. I shut power completly off to the others.

Knowing my house, I can walk through it at night with jsut the light from the clocks on.

So until they put Solar on my Roof Top for free and I pay for what I use, I am stuck with Elect.

Try contacting one of your Reps or Senators and get them to push for incentives.
