I would like to get started and gradually add to my system until I am off the grid!

It's tricky, because you actually want to be on the grid.

The reason is that one of the ways solar works economically is that you sell your excess power back to the electric company when you don't need it. "Off-grid" systems are significantly more expensive, used only by people who physically can't connect without running expensive wires.

There are two really good guides out that will walk you through how to do this. To compare both guides, go to http://www.mysolarsecret.com
