You need moderately high capacity local storage to eliminate the need for a grid, though. That's a lot more expensive than solar.

if the choice is standalone solar on nothing (or kerosine) though its very different. Storage will come later.

Right. Just saying the cheapness of solar doesn't help you go off-grid in places where there is a grid. Rather it lets you profit from grid.

Solar is connecting those in places where grid hasn’t reached or residents can’t afford to pay to be connected. Still need grid for commerce
