When I bought my land the local power company quoted me 1300 dollars to hook into the grid

Fast forward 2 years, and a lot of investment in clearing and out buildings and the new quote was north of 25k...plus I still get a bill..

Half that got me a system that allows me to store roughly 40kwh, harvest capacity of about 5.8kwh and a 7.2k inverter I have a back up propane generator for those times I may run low, and use the generator to top off the banks but that happens one or two times a year at most
