What are the pros and cons of being on grid versus off? JohnS's post above seems to suggest that an on-grid system costs more. Is this due to equipment needed to connect with the grid?
Is anyone completely off grid, and if so how is the reliability of your systems?
A final question. This one is probably dumb but I wonder if people ever steel your panels off your roof. We might be on the mainland about six months a year (at least in the first few years), so I worry tht when we arrive we'll find our panels missing. Does this ever happen?
