The real problem is collecting that energy, solar panels only work when its sunny.
You cant afford property to homestead in SoCal.
You can afford property in Nevada but the water table is 5,000 feet down and you cant afford the well.
You can afford the property in Montana and can easily hit the water table but 35% of the year you cant collect enough sunlight to charge a cellphone.
You can afford the property and hit the water table and have enough clear days to keep the solar going in Tenneessee but theres so much sulfur in the water that everything smells like rotten eggs unless you change the filter every morning.
Those are all examples from my personal experiences BTW.
I have a cabin innawoods. Im not off grid. I was lucky enough to have a trunk line running down the road.
>first 300 feet is free- after that its $4 a foot overhead, $7 a foot underground.>*free 300 feet not included if you choose underground Septic is the real killer.
My county doesnt give a shit if you build a house out of palets and freeze to death because you dont have electricity or a pot belly stove.
But if you dont have a permitted septic system they'll take you to court and evict you from your own property.
I mean, I get it. I dont want raw sewage from my neighbors shit shack flowing across my yard.
I post all the time about my experiemce so some of this is familiar.
But its also why these threads piss me off- because the OP pic is some ideal min/max paper fantasy thats unobtainable on so many different levels.
