I am currently in the process of getting financing to build (install) a manufactured home on my property. I have electric, water and sewer at the street. The power company quoted me $13000 plus or minus %15 to get electric service to the house.

I am a competent DIYer and have always been fascinated by solar/off grid. I think I could do a full off grid setup (ground mount) for about the same cost as a grid connection and then have no monthly electric bill (still have a sinking fund for maintenance, repair and battery replacement in the future).

Thoughts? will this complicate financing and insurance a bunch? is it worth the trouble?
