And don't forget to factor in the euphoria that the home owner feels when he "sticks it to the utility" by telling them to disconnect him from the grid. . . .or revert him to a backup power only status. And then you must figure in the computer-driven equipment that doesn't break down as often due to the steady clean power supply. . . .void of spikes, surges, brown power, insufficient voltage, etc. . . .it may sound nuts to some, but having owned digital recording studios and other business that have multiple computer-driven systems. . . having pure steady power could save many thousands in downtime, repairs and replacements. Forget about surge protectors or UPS systems. . . . I have a pile of them that bit the dust along with the equipment.
