> For 40k you can build quite a large off grid PV system that will have a reasonable ROI on it to serve the same loads, vs. spending 40k one time on construction costs for grid and then $50 to $200 monthly electric bills recurring for a long time after that.
Why would such an off-grid system have any monthly electric bills? Are you just pre-amortizing the cost of replacement batteries?
EDIT: I'm an idiot. The bills are for the grid-tied option.
