Pennies do add up. Particularly if you want to use (gasp) a generator for the electrical power. That 27 cents becomes more like $2.70.
When I was part time I would 'cheat' and use my water heater to knock down the battery bank so my modest solar system would have to work to replenish the battery bank.
$0.27 x 365 = $98.55 = a pretty fine dinner for two in many places.
