We are looking at installing Solar panels to provide 100% of our power usage. If batteries are installed as part of the solar system, a generator isn’t necessary. The solar panels collect the power during the day and the batteries store the unused power to be accessed at night or during a power outage. Excess power produced is sold back to the utility company. On our case it is SECO, they seem very easy to work with to install Solar, as opposed to Duke, FPL.

It will be very nice to be totally self sufficient on renewable energy!
