Off the grid....Almost

In an effort to be more environmentally conscious, we've decided to put up a 6kW PV system on our roof. Since our home faces perfectly due South without any obstructions, we should not have any major issues with the install. The initial cost is quite high, but hopefully it will pay back in 15-20 years. More importantly, we want to do our part in reducing our independence on cruel oil. In the future, once we install the batteries, we will be able to live completely off the grid. But for now, we will have to live with net-metering.....

This is a picture of an install from the company that we will be working with. Looks great!
