Then you need just a couple panels plus batteries in the basement or crawl space. If you use solar for anything more than Fridge/freezer and incidentals you are wasting lots of money. for example, solar electric heating will not work at all. Solar A/C is at least feasible but still too pricey. The only reason solar works at all is massive subsidies by rate payers (net metering) not mentioned in the article.
Thanks for your reply.
