The money aspect is interesting.

Where I am the companies charge a ‘line charge’. It’s about 20-25% of the monthly bill.

I generate somewhere between 80-110% of the power I need, but in winter I only get half what I need from solar.

A larger system would cover this and negate the need for the line charge, suddenly saving a lot.
