[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1003173, member: 18945"] Don't forget to consult with your power provider as well Hightree. Probably want to do that as soon as you have the info from the local solar power people, tho they may be able to tell ya if your power co buys back excess energy. As far as I know, my local provider (Entergy) gets it's Texas residential/business power from nat gas/oil generators and 4 or 5 nuke plants over in La and one in Arkansas. They've about divested themselves fromcoal fired plants--just a few still in Arkansas. They have a working interest in a wind field in Amarillo Texas, but not sure what the MW size is, but other energy companies have huge wind farms in Nolan County Texas--perhaps the largest concentration of wind turbines in the US. Energy is like any other commodity--bought and sold from and by one provider to another as needed, so ya never really know where your electricity was generated from at any given time. [/QUOTE]
