...and to bring a bit of humor to this news list.... today I got my Reliant
Energy  electric bill.... and my usage was 6 kWh..... for the month, that
is....
my PV system supplies all my other power needs... and  I believe that I
can cut the remaining 6 kWh usage down to near zero..this 6 kWh of grid
power, is mostly used by my home water catchment submersible pump...
