I'm sure I mentioned the daily connection fee (about 6 months ago) going up, when I was on grid the daily connection fee cost as much as the consumption, after trying to use less and less power it was futile, also the first step was running the house off grid with the utility available, it didn't take long to prove the system then get rid of the utility supply.
Don't be scared of your thinking you need the utility as backup.......you don't! most of us will have an easy back up plan in place, inverter parts etc.

Be aware that its a one way trip, getting the utility reconnected is similar to a new house build, all house wiring will have to be inspected and perhaps redone, plus many other expenses, if your not selling well then its no problem.
