      EPS is only non-zero if you have a critical loads panel AND the grid is down or if you are using off-grid mode (the grid is relay down)...

      My total before any tax credit is just under $23k, will be right around $16k all said and done. $14k for 1x 18kpv, 1x Powerpro, 20x...

      Oh. Also installed mini splits 16 units (LG multi, about $1000 each), and reduced propane bill by $2000 a year. Natural gas savings...
