I've been actively interested in this topic since the 80's, and I seriously doubt you can get very close to the cost of grid power - at least in the central states where I've lived. They generate in bulk, so it's really tough trying to get the actual per-KW cost down. This would include not only initial investment and any type of fuel source (if needed), but also for the time involved in running/maintaining such a powerplant.
About the only way I can think of offhand is if you had access to your own private water source so you could run a hydro system. So far that's about it.
The other thing to figure in here is the size of your system. While not normally figured into the overall cost-per-KW, seems something should also be mentioned about the space that an off-grid system would take up, as that's less of your real estate that you have available for other things.
