About 11.7 months of the year, which means we need a generator up to 10 days per year (trending closer to 5, but I'm being pessimistic). But I think most off grid systems should plan for at least some generator use, or the system is likely oversized in terms of battery capacity. The generator is just part of the system and plan.A quick survey.
How many months of the year does your Solar Production meet or exceed your Consumption?
Batteries count. Generators don’t count.
That sounds like a solar assistant or other logger graph question.A quick survey.

I never tried to live off grid but the "backup with benefits" does have some ROI. If I am lucky about the time I need to replace the batteries it paid for it self. Say 6,000 cyclesAbout 8.
Not looking good for ROI, but good for ongoing amusement.
If that is how you collect the data, sure.That sounds like a solar assistant or other logger graph question.
If it's the AES Rancho Viejo project I don't think it's tree huggers. Looks more like it's NIMBYs who live in the adjacent subdivision who just don't want any development near them. There's a big difference between NIMBYism and environmentalism.13.......come on... I live in a high altitude dry desert environment AND inside a blue hole between two mountain ranges. We easily get over 330 sun filled days a year here. Theres a company thats trying to put in an 800 acre solar farm a couple miles from me but the tree huggers of all people are dogging them! I dont know... something about fires they say.
We are out pretty rural and seeing quite a few solar farms popping up. I'd much rather see them than another subdivisionSolar farms make great neighbors. They are quiet and keep to themselves.
Sure, but they suck up all the sunlight and make it darker, which affects crop yields in adjacent Real Crops fields. Or something...Solar farms make great neighbors. They are quiet and keep to themselves.
There's some use of combined agric/solar, just by lifting on taller mounts. Obviously specifics will vary depending on the local climate; I've seen mention of sheep-grazing and of grapevines.Personally I'd prefer productive farmland not be converted to solar. We're going to need that farmland to feed people at some point.
All those nimby's ARE treehuggers... trust me.Looks more like it's NIMBYs who live in the adjacent subdivision
Nope, sorry, not going to trust you on this. I'm a environmentalist tree hugger but not a Nimby. Nimbys I've met are rich entitled jerks who dont care about anyone but themselves.All those nimby's ARE treehuggers... trust me.
