In January I completed the installation of my EG4 18Kpv Inverter and 16 Li Time 12v 230Ah LiFeP04 batteries (grid tied) system. I signed up with a power company that offers completely free energy from 9pm to 9am. They don't even charge the delivery fee. I received my first bill which totaled $12.97 which is the sum of the base fee for the power company and the transmission line company. Here's the kicker... I signed up while they had a promotion going where they send $15 each month during my 2 year contract to my Amazon prime account. That means on my first month's bill, I actually made $2.03!!!!!!! I have about $20K in my system so based on my normal usage, (when you factor in the 30% tax credit) my system should pay for itself in about 3 years! Thanks to all the guys like Will that have put so much info on the web so people like me can research and figure out how to make this happen.
P.S. I just ordered solar panels from SanTan Solar. When I install 14 - 550W bi-Facial panels, I should never run my batteries dry in the summer. and during the winter I'll have plenty of power for days if the grid goes down.
