[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 909818, member: 16453"] Are you guys putting solar panels on your houses to feed back into the grid? In Australia every second house now has a sytem feeding back to the grid (government subsidies). I have a small stand alone solar system running my house, 1.5Kw. I am not connected to the grid. On a good day I have my batteries charged by midday and the rest of the day is basically wasted. Storing and retrieving power from a bank of batteries is not efficient, yet this system easily runs my household including pumps. Households with similar size solar systems feeding back to the grid only seem to get half to a third off their power bills and yet they are paid more for the power they sell back than what they buy. Maybe they are a lot more wastefull than me, but to me it doesn't add up. Ken [/QUOTE]
