It is also used when cutting off all contact, so one can have alone time.

You can't get in contact with them. They're Off-Grid.

Off Grid 

Traditionally, off grid is the term describing life lived without connection to the electrical grid. Often using solar panels and batteries to supply electrical needs. Being "off grid" can also include being disconnected from town water supplies and sewer systems. As most off grid homes exist in remote places, the former is the still the common term.

Peter has lived off grid for 25 years. Despite its age, his off grid power system is functioning well.

I'm going to be off grid. Seriously, I'm moving to a remote property with no grid power. Means I'm going to need a solar panel and battery if I wish to keep my mobile phone charged!

What happened to Tom? I haven't talked to him since ten years ago.

Last time I heard, he got caught up in a drug-related arrest. Somehow escaped from prison and was forced to fall off the grid, probably somewhere in the Amazon Rainforest living with them Natives by now.
