A quick video showing how much the meter is running backwards now that I have 1.6KW from Sharp panels and 1KW from Dupont panels working plus both freezers on the HF panels plus the solar water heater running. Once the additional 1KW of DuPont panels come on line plus I add the 360watts of HF panels and take the pumps, lights and tools out of the grid, I should be selling most of the time. I've learned that it's better to conserve than to generate. We insulated the attic last year to R48 value and we noticed the reduction in cooling requirements right away, Additionally, the shade created by the solar panels on the sunny side of the roof further helps reduce cooling costs, then the solar water heater went on line and then the rest of the solar. Little by little it all comes together and adds up tremendously. Once my three wind turbines are up and running again we will be truly off the grid permanently if we wanted to or chose to.
