Think into it. An appraiser from a bank or business loan institution comes to your personal facility to help establish the price of your industry. He sees from a distance that the 50kw diesel generator enclosure or cabinet definitely needs maintenance art. The exhaust stack on top is brown with rust, causing wide brown streaks to look on the edges. Around the base thick rust spots with blistering and peeling paint are alleged. He opens one of the cabinet doors, then looks at the hour meter, inspects the inside, same thing, more rust with blistering and peeling furbish.
What this take on an off-the-grid domicile? Can you just install solar panels and Industrial diesel generator then never have to handle the local electric utility again? Give it some thought - you then become energy independent, no more huge electric bills, never again huge electric rate raise. Is an off-the-grid home really would-be?
