That is awesome! Thank you for sharing that GSpotter.

Did you do load calculations and such before getting the system or just base it on historical data from your power company? Right now I'm having to note pretty much everything that connects to an outlet (or charges from one) and I'm still more and more amazed at how much I have. Heck, the Outback site even has "Clock Radio" as an option to log its power consumption.

I guess I'd rather have a slightly larger system than needed over one that struggles to provide my needs, more so if we are actually able to go off-grid completely. I might keep the electrical service to my home, though treat it like shore power on a ship that I would only plug in to charge my batteries if my generator is down (or I don't want to burn the propane) and the sun just didn't charge the batteries enough.
