The problem with that is the storage facility needed for an estate or small suburb will cost a fortune, along with the constant maintenance and eventual swapping of batteries.
Even a basic system for a smallish house to get you off the grid will set you back $25k-30k. The system in place where panels feed back into the grid is better as during the days houses are generally empty but then places of employment are busy. Generated surplus energy is diverted where it's needed and the user gets a refund (albeit small and getting smaller) that then offsets the power they use in the evenings / weekends.
