Toulon I'm still on the grid. I actually sell my "excess" solar back to the power company. My generator is there for when the power goes out during a storm or whatever reason. It's not a perfect system, but my bill is WAY lower and I do have the ability to switch off the grid if needed.
It is nice that my workshop/barn is 100% off the grid and using only solar power though. A swap to all LED lighting helped make that happen as well as they use WAY less power.
