Jenny, No disrespect intended here, but I don't get it. Why would you want to be off the grid, unless you live on a mountain top where you can't get electricity, only to trade one energy source, electricity, for another energy source propane.
How can that be self sufficient?
It would cost me a pant load to switch over to propane heat, propane water, cooking. Not to mention, how would I power my centeral air? I would have to have an engine powered air compressor, welder, table saw, planner. I don't want to live like the amish.
I wouldn't live long enough to recover the difference in energy cost, especially now that propane prices are jumping all over. Not to mention the cost of batteries and solar panels.

I would need a pole barn full of batteries to meet my demands.
