I'm not going the battery route. Too much cost, maintenance, etc. With the net metering program, I bank extra power to be used during times the system doesn't generate enough. I don't think that will probably ever happen. My neighbor got a ground mount system installed. It's slightly bigger than mine. She received a credit for a huge amount of KWhrs. her first month. Something like 700 KWhrs. if I remember right. The net metering starts on my next billing cycle, & I'm also curious to see what happens then. SoCal911T, my neighbor across the road has electric bills in your range - has propane for gas. Says his wife complains when it gets close to 50 on cold mornings. My low months run around $115 to $125 but electric heating during the winter months are killers.
