Pardon my ignorance, but if you would be required to spend tens of
thousands of bucks to install your solar, why couldn't you simply pay an
average electrician a couple thousand to install a separate circuit,
with outlets in each room, in your house?  You wouldn't be connected to
the grid at all and instead of plugging your home beowulf cluster into
the CPS outlet, you plug it into your solar-powered outlet.  CPS could
howl all they want but you would still be generating your own energy,
and it seems to me that is the whole point of the exercise, isn't it?
Peace
Dan Coit
