A pretty good sized system, and if folk can afford such, should head in this direction.

Noted an article in Crikey the other day, the power providers must be nervous of future events-tech; having regard to SELF STORAGE where rather than sell back to the grid your daily excess, you store it for overnight use. You become in effect, independent of the grid.

Much discussion at the odd and weird Whirlpool forum about this.
