I did save money for my shack in the mountains. Electric co-op wanted more to run power to the property than the panels and equipment cost.

Getting electricity installed in a new house ain't cheap, usually it's baked into the price of a new house and regular folks never see that bill.
Especially if there is a significant distance between the house and the nearest road.
The transformer alone costs something like 9 grand.
So I guess there is a legitimate market for isolated dwellings.
How about those who tried to augment their electric supply with solar cells or a small windmill. Was it worth it?
