Really - I am not so sure... my brother in CA tells me after installing solar panels on his home his bill from the power company went from 3 digits to $4 per month. He isn't really a back-to-nature Californian either...
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoMaybe we need 200 Amps from the power company for peak demand (frozen pizza + ball game + blender) but don't really pull much most of the time. Batteries limit not peak but total draw over the day. Hm.
- venomsnake 12y ago200 amps even at the ultra low voltage the US has is still 20 kilowatts. That is tumble drier, oven with stove tops, washing machine + everything else in the house and you still have 10 kilowatts to spare.
- jarek 12y agoAlso chances are pretty good not everyone will have everything going at the same time, so you would be able to borrow power from your neighbours' systems without needing a big utility with standby coal.
