Let's just say local laws are unreasonably strict about that kind of thing. To the point it's not worth the risk given how widely available it is should I need some.
It's a process and every year you see an improvement over the previous one.
5 years ago I've had a meadow that was slowly overgrowing with trees and some old, mostly dead fruit trees that look like from a horror movie around the house.
With just me an my wife working on it we got to half an acre of a garden, a greenhouse, tiny vineyard (if you can call 20 plants that), 50-60 fruit trees and bushes. I intend to add beehives and a chicken coop before summer.
The property came with a dozen or so enormous (>6m / 20ft) apple and cherry trees planted about a century ago and all but 3 of them are barely alive, so this spring I've cleared some space and added:
4 peach trees, 2 varietals
4 apricot trees, 2 varietals
2 Japanese plum trees (technically not a plum)
8 cherry trees, 4 varietals
3 plum trees, 2 varietals
10 apple trees, 5 varietals
4 pear trees, 4 varietals
2 pear-shaped quince trees
2 Japanese quince bushes
6 currant bushes, 2 varietals
Assuming most of them survive I'll be set as far as fruit I can grow in my zone are concerned. Well, I could use 2-3 asian/american hybrid persimmons to have a full set, but they are very hard to find and expensive - I'd have to pay more for 2 than I've paid for the 40+ listed above..
The combined area of the 3 racks I use for sprouting is almost 8m2 or 85ft2 - I'd need a lot of south facing windows to have that much of unused windowsill area available
Edit: Also light directly above is better for sprouting
I'm too far north for solar to provide anywhere close to enough power for 5 months of the year, even if I have it overbuilt to x4 of what I need in the summer
I'm in a low average wind speed area (less than 4 m/s) - making wind power about 3x more expensive than solar. Also local law effectively prevents me from settting it up (minimum distance from residential rule)
no net metering available, net billing rules suck
grid is at capacity, so getting new solar connected is problematic and even if you manage that it won't accept your output through most productive months of the year
my car is a relatively new hybrid (but not a plug-in one) - I'm not replacing it until I run it into the ground
tl;dr; my auto consumption will be low, grid won't accept extra power greatly extending the break even period
At least I'm using biomass for heating - wood or sunflower shell pellets.
