In Czech republic - europe - they made law that says anyone can built up to 100 kWp solar array, without any building permits, township meetings, HOA nonsense etc. You want it, you can build it.

Best way to be independent of your neighbors polluting your air with their wood burning furnace is show them PV works, and is cheap.

Yes, this wasn't economically feasible 10 years ago due to the rapid improvement in batteries, inverters, heat pumps for air conditioning and water heating, etc. I've been living off grid over 20 years but its only recently that its at least as good as a connected 200 amp grid power service with ample 220v for residential needs.
