Fragility, in Taleb's sense of the word. And money.

If you're still grid-connected, you're still paying "service charges", a majority of the cost of electricity here.

And whilst notionally you can get paid for feed-in to the grid, in practice its a govt-regulated oligopsony. Here, feed-in tariffs were recently lowered by decree to 1c per kW/h.

A majority of solar systems here are "grid-tied", so if the grid goes out, you go out. I've never seen a transfer switch in this country, I should check the AU Standard but I believe they're as good as illegal, even though very common in Asia.

Off-grid is simply better.

If you're worried about hail, screen with pvc-coated wire mesh. You'll lose maybe 5% peak. Or do what I do and keep spare panels behind the shed.

Like Fukuyama, his (early) books are significantly greater than he is.

IDK how this happens. I'm guessing the brainrot stems from wanting to be liked.
