My wife would LOVE to do that. I feel like it's a pretty tall order since in my mind, it would require several layers of redundancy ($$$) to have solid, uninterrupted service like we get from the power companies.

Without having looked into it, I would think that you'd need a good bank of panels, an oversized bunch of batteries, and then at least one beefy backup generator with at least several days if not a weeks worth of fuel. But that's just me spit balling.
