We had this discussion the last time "off-grid" came up.
Some take it's meaning more literally, with grid meaning pipes or wires delivering services to your home.
So gas being piped into your generator would be on-grid, if it gets trucked in then that's off-grid. Electricity via wires is on-grid, electricity via a factory built solar cell or windmill is off-grid.
Others have a more poetic definition of "off-grid" as "self-sufficency" though it's hard to see where that ends, as there's no clear dividing line, even a child born in a remote rainforest tribe with no contact with the world will end up using tools and techniques passed on by local culture.
