[Vision2020] Question to Anyone. How do you get off the grid?

[Donovan Arnold]

Does anyone know how to get off the electrical grid? I would like to just buy some solar panels and hook them up. How many watts does it take to run a household? I saw this at Costco;

260 Watts, max power? What does that mean? How many would I need to buy? Anyone know? Thanks.
