Default Solar Panels for back up electricity

Does anyone use solar panels for back up electricity? We are in the process of renos and we have to re wire the house so I was wondering how effective it is for back up?

I talked to the local solar power company today. He told me it costs around 30k to reduce monthly power bill by $129. Government gives 30% back of costs. The state used to offer $4 per Kilowatt, but our new governor cut that.

It would be nice, but out of my price range.
