To me that $76 per month connection fee would be enough to go 100% off grid! you are paying $1,200 a year for $300 worth of electricity! most of the time it's not cost effective to have a battery based system but for you it sounds like it is, that you could easily get a system to pay for it's self in 5 years or so then make it large enough to charge your electric car too and you could take out a 10 year loan and pay less per month then you are paying right now for gasoline and electricity, after that ten years is up you enjoy free electricity and transportation fuel for the rest of your life, just make sure to put your solar panels in your will for your grand children!
