Tim * You can't be entirely off if you sell back to the grid, but your at least not grid-dependent if what you say is true, OTOH that selling back to the grid, at mandated prices is just another subsidy for you, which is one more reason for me to think the idea is not a good one. Both of my houses generate excess energy. The island one can't sell to the grid. My one in Seattle makes me money every year because of the way I designed it. I have power 24/7/365 without the drop of one cycle of AC. The "Grid" can't give me that sigma of service! (for layman.. one cycle of AC is 1/60th of a second.)
