The grid tie system I have been looking at is this 10kw system- a complete system with the inverters integral to the solar panels. at just under $20k for everything including hardware it's looking better.
Our peak energy use has only been a bit over 12kw- this is residence and shop.
I do not believe this system I am looking at will work sans utility power though.
Chris, how much does your power company pay for a residential grid tie? At the time we looked into it, our company (Niagara Mohawk, now National Grid) was paying about 1.75 cents/KWH. The numbers just didn't work for us. Hopefully, you would fair better...
