I'm 2/3 way thru an off-grid project. Will be about $15k all up when finished (and that was with purchase of a few tools i didn't have like nailguns, compressor, generator etc). I have to say, this sort of thing is so much easier and accessible than, say, 20 years ago. The underlying technology for off-grid living and information on how to put it all together is so much better.
