Their rules are different in different communities.  Some of them allow 
electric in a workplace but not in the home.

The cheapest locations for sale have no electricity available at all.

its not overly complicated to wire an unwired home, especially an amish built 
home which will follow specific design standards. Also, a lot of amish homes do 
have wire present, just not connected. Amish are frugal and hen amenities, but 
they are also business savvy and know about potential resale value. the 
referenced home has corded machines in the woodshop, so id guess when the 
heathens arent looking, the breaker behind the wood panel gets turned on

The community just south of us is 100% off-grid. All of them are solar, and 
last I looked a couple also had wind generators.

Friend of mine has set up three homes with solar panels and batteries out in 
the desert near us...100% off the grid...

Off grid homes are easy now with LFP batteries, it would just be the
hassle of wiring it, specially as they probably don't use sheet rock
interior walls.   So you are probably doing conduit all around the
outside walls.   But they probably all have basements that you could
also wire through.
