I am really into hiking and the outdoors and I am very interested in purchasing an off the grid cabin that is self sufficient (water well, wood fire stove, and solar powered generator) in Greene county most likely.

Chicago code requires that all tenants need to be able to access their electrical panel 24/7 unless a dedicated person (engineer/owner) lives there to provide them with that access.

@Jonathan Orr I would always steer to tilt-up as long as you have the space to bring in heavy equipment to maneuver the panels.  

Agreed with Amberly - Modal has some great units and is based in Utah (modern style) while Meka has the same modern feel but is customizable (very rare in the pre-fab/panelized world).

My houses have basements with the panel in the basement so its usually pretty easy to run romex from the panel and then up a wall. 

I would just have the electrician connect them to your garage panel. 

The major items they wanted repaired were the electrical panel and the boat dock. 

Has anyone here had experience buying rural land and developing it for renewable energy use / installing wind turbines or solar power on it?

We market flooring, decking, roofing, plywood, windows, cabinets, paneling, lumber, countertops, kitchen sinks, paints, showers/tubs, siding, etc. 

How does the 30% tax credit for solar on commercial work?
