Okay, I heard back from my wife's dad regarding solar electricity at their house:

Quote:
They worked well, we were off grid for 3 years. [with supplemental power from the generator]
There is one big issue here. Dec, Jan, Feb, there is no sun and no wind [they also have a windmill]. And short days. To get power you have to have clear skies.

When deregulation came in, the cost of power dropped 65% and we had it run in.
