This was my plan 3-4 yrs ago when there was a big solar company "get in before the subsidy goes away" push. I must have had 5 or 6 solar companies I talked to, all of them wouldn't touch that setup with a 10ft pole. They think the money is in credits/chargeback. I want independence. I have since moved and haven't tried here but that area would get large storms and issues that would require me to have a generator anyway, so Solar + Batteries seemed a no brainer. I still want power independence, but it's less a necessity here.
