James, rate for power around here is just over .16. I was not interested in dropping another 10k for a battery system. The controller on our solar system will only turn on if it picks up the appropriate sine wave from the line.
Our generator will run almost everything in the house except the baseboard heaters and the electric stove.
I fire up the generator on the first of each month for 15 minutes.
The year before we had the system installed, we had two outages. One lasted four days. If we never use the generator in a real outage, I will be perfectly happy.
And yes, our contract with the power company says they pay us for our production above our usage.
