I still feel we are doing "not bad" pwr usage for a family of five, with a regular refrigerator, and almost all our lighting being LED bulbs or CFL bulbs, and only using window air conditioner occasionally.
Still want to install a PV grid-tie generation system. A modest one that generates 1kw to 2kw or so.
That way I could use A/C or electric heaters "guilt free" on sunny days. And on days when not running A/C or electric heaters, use zero utility electricity for 6hrs to 8hrs or so, when the PV system would likely generate all electricity the house would consume while the sun was shining.
