The economics are what make 'off grid' little more than a boutique or niche industry which. That's all that it is in 2015.
Lots of people will say they are worried about the environment and climate change. Less of those same people will make a decision to pay more for electricity from a company that offers renewable power rates such as Bullfrog, Bow Valley or SPARK. Even less will go through the hassle of permitting a micro generation system, which comes with the added hassle of maintaining a battery system.
The comparison you make between Tesla and Apple is spot on. That's what's worth getting excited about. Apple made technology accessible to the masses. Tesla is doing the same for renewable power.
