We use a ton of power here and our quarterly bill is around $250, or $1000 per year. To generate and store an equivalent amount of power (via solar) would require about $30 000 worth of panels, deep cycle batteries and assorted installation paraphernalia. In other words, 30 years worth of mains supply at current rates. Now power is going up in price, but your deep cycle batteries will be dead in 10 years or so and your panels will be half stuffed in 20 years or so.
Solar is great! But it ain't cheap.
