Having solar doesn't make you off grid able since the solar feeds the grid and you draw from the grid. So if the grid goes out so does your power even if the sun is shining(at least that's how I understand it. If you have a battery storage system if the grid goes out the battery turns on like a generator. I could be wrong but most batteries will give you at best a couple of days of power so if the power goes out for an extended period like we had in December it may not last.

If you are flying out of MTL to the US, the US customs is in the MTL airport before you board and can be INCREDIBLY slow, make sure you are there at least 3 hours ahead of time for a morning flight.
