Reply #35: I'm using the numbers you provided.

Running a 4.5kw generator for 1.5 hours generates 6,750 wH per week. Divide by 7 to get 964 wH/day. Similarly you claim to be replacing more lighting with LEDs. This is the first I've heard about "more lighting" - how many watts does that use?

I can tell you right off the bat your friend in Austin's meter doesn't "run backwards year round". At least half the year (nighttime) your friend draws energy from the grid, and mostly from burning natural gas. Creating more CO2.

So you're fudging. You claim your panels generate "more than enough" electricity, and that one more panel would "more than compensate" but the numbers don't justify it.
