Must be a significant house (or full of teenagers, lol).
I definitely want to go down that route as well. My opinion though - it's not worth generating (at or near) 100% power unless you can sell the excess back to the grid at a reasonable value. To my knowledge (which admittedly is about year dated) that this isn't the case in Alberta.
Still love the notion - perhaps have enough capacity to generate 75% of your needs, and use the evil corporation to supplement the heavy months?
