Also if you happen to be on undeveloped land with no power, the electric company often charges $1200 or more per pole to get to you, so it very quickly becomes worth it to just do off grid solar.

There was one guy I saw who was 400ft from power but thepower company wanted so much that for a tiny fraction of that he was able to put in a really nice off-grid solar setup. Plus then you don't need to deal with connecting to the grid or any sort of permitting depending on where you are or how little you care about permits.

If you're building a house from scratch on undeveloped land then money is probably less of a concern for you to begin with.

Undeveloped land is generally the cheapest

but you need to be able to afford to buy that land and develop it while also paying for your current housing.

you still need the spare income to buy new land while continuing to pay mortgage/rent at your current home, and the spare time to do all the actual development
