Sorry about the pictures - I will upload them to this site, when I can.

Our generation costs are about 14¢ / kWh. Do you you also have distribution costs?

I am looking at a rocket mass stove with a biochar maker, for backup heat.

We are doing all the construction, and roofing, but we had the solar PV system installed. My old roof was an 8 pitch hip roof, and the shingles were failing. We stripped the 3 layers of shingles (about 10,000 pounds total) and removed all the old roof framing. We then used the rafters to double the attic floor joists, and then framed the new 12 pitch gable roof with 2x12's and LVL ridge and valleys. The new roof is a 50 year asphalt shingle.
