Congrats!

What does TOU metering mean in your instance?  Are you informed via
print out as to your use pattern, are you benefiting from a variable
rate, depending on the time of use your system displaces grid supply
or backfeeds solar power into the grid?  Also, is there any remote
electronic metering involved.  The value of distributed solar
generated electricity on a hot July afternoon could be much greater
than the average per Kw residential rate.  -ross@rnn.com
