Off-grid balance
How the model works.
Solar + batteries cover most of the load month by month.
The generator only runs for the residual deficit.

Off-grid side: equipment + residual generator fuel
If your land could be connected to the grid, what would the 20-year verdict be?
* Generator fuel cost vs a 100% generator scenario. 20-year grid comparison at $0.18/kWh electricity and a $144/yr utility service charge. Off-grid system: no grid connection, no resale.
