Off grid power

Want to get of the grid....Do this with a 40kw generator. Outside of maintenance on the generator itself; and the noise of it((loud)lots of noise barriers needed), you won't pay another nickel for power again....I personally would keep my meter hooked up, and the basic meter fee paid just in case you do have down time. Lots of other considerations involved; for instance, if your not much of a handy man and can't do the repairs yourself then you might not want to consider this as an option.

Expensive sort of, a little complicated for sure but not so much as to have many parts,  but doable absolutely.....Your main worries will be the switchover from street power to internal household power. NEVER EVER RUN GENERATOR AND STREET POWER AT THE SAME TIME ON THE SAME CIRCUIT (VERY DANGEROUS), unless you go through the expense of  having separate circuits....I recommend only the pros try this.
