We were off grid for a decade or so and there was a lot of work in maintaining the batteries, the back up generator, keeping track of if we had power to do whatever, etc. Then we moved to town and got a grid-tied solar system Total non-brainer. The solar panels make power, feed it into the system and if we produce more than we use, then the electric bill is $20 a month just to be connected to the system. Way easier than a completely off grid system.
However, if the grid goes down, so does our current system. They do now make new inverters that will switch to a stand alone system if the grid goes down. Our next system will be that type.
