Lol we did it..sort of.
We bought some land near parrysound, built a 16x20 cabin, I picked up a 250 watt solar panel,mpp controller, 4 deep cycle wallymart batteries and an inverter..cost$1000 bucks, this will be our second year and we will be adding a small dandy fridge, we never ran out of power for the lights or tv and we used it every weekend, we figure in july we will be even for the cost of staying off the grid.
now what I learned is solar does not work there in the winter as you cant keep the solar panel clean all the time, we have a genny to supply power when we need it and will be buying a wind turbin for winter use as there is more wind than sun in the winter.
saying that we are very happy being off the grid for our little cottage.
