Although the solar technology industry may be ‘disruptive’ it is a viable on or off grid solution to renewable energy. However, using batteries with your solar is a dominant solution. You can save power, or you can do both earning money back with an energy provider, and invest money back, with net-metering any money that you put back onto the grid will fund your electricity bill. However, on the grid you may want to develop a ‘hybrid battery’ solution to put electricity back on the grid with your local energy coop or corporation such as PG & E or Edison Electric. Then, on your next bill you will be able save battery power, after covering your electricity expenses if you are able match your net-metered watts, and still have power to put back on the grid if you are far over stock.
If you are living off the power grid, you’ll have to store your power generated anyways because you will have know way to functionally net-meter.
