Yeah, even assuming you went with a small steel building, with sitework and a big enough concrete pad you'd be looking at 25k or so just for the building. A big enough solar install with batteries for nightime would easily be another 30-50k. You'd also need to maintain electric service for cloudy days.
I like the idea, but its more like a 60k investment to offset a fair amount but not all of the electric bill.
