I'm a wack job, I have no electric bill. I have a 8160 watt grid tie (no batteries)photovoltaic system on my barn, (see avatar) powers my whole house. Hot water, A/C everything. It makes about $2K a year in electric and I got $7K last year in energy credits. The system cost was $65K but the state gave me $35k of it. If the power goes out the system shuts down. I have a 20 kw diesel generator in the same barn that can be run as prime power 24/7. You can't even hear it run from the house. As I type this, the sun is making 3.5 kw of 240vac. Doug
