It is just my wife & me & we have a 3.2K s.f. house without a pool but with central HVAC, and two tankless water heaters operated off of propane. (My propane use with those is about .23 gal./day.). The rest of the house is all electric. Our system is 7.75 kW. When they installed it, they put in 10% over our average usage over the previous three years. We bought an EV later on, and I wish I had asked them to install something like 25% overage. As it was, we sold them back almost 3 mW of power per year. With the EV, we have had to pay some at true up time. If you don't get the extra at time of installation, & you're on a net meteriing program, you can't add on to your existing system. It has to be classified as an additional/extra/separate system. Just additional tidbits.
