gov wouldn't want people "off grid", not unless they can tax you as a generator rather than consumer or something
Solar won't get you off grid anyway, you'd need a field full of panels in December for example!

I exaggerate a bit, but a fairly standard south facing 4KW system would not generate enough on the darkest winter days to cover all of your usage, and then we have to remember it's not gas, it's just the electric part.
