...I have to wait 3-years as condition(s) for the State/Agency incentives.

After that I can go off-grid if I so choose.

However, if I expand my capacity then I might want to stay connected as long as my State's net-metering rules are in effect.

After that, I charge batteries with my system and deliver them to stranded drivers (at a cost)
