High efficiency panels, and some supplemental passive systems, and I'd say yeah; it's within the realm of possible.

Diesel generators... big fucking diesel generators. I've seen guys bury tractor trailers in their yard and shit, but this thing is fucking awesome... way beyond what I would expect. Now, if he was REAL smart, he would have built it inside a fucking cave that had some underground river running through it to set up some sort of turbine system to generate the juice... Of course, that's what they always say about real estate... location, location, location. |

He was leaching off the grid, separate from his normal utilities... generally people tap into the water system to do this... |

Yeh but if he was using the normal grid, and paying his bill who would have cared? All dude has to say is that the lights and TVs stay on 24/7, pay his enourmous bill and rake in the $$$$ from selling some weed. The way it is, dude got caught because he was stealing electricity

Seems like people only get caught when they get greedy.

The amount of power you would need to be self sufficient would get noticed when you shut off the river heading out of the cave to get the shit in place and built. Considering how important a water source of that size would be, it would definitely not go unnoticed. This couldn't be done on some tiny little creek.
