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

I will look into SECO also, currently we are planning on the same, but we are waiting for Tesla Solar Roof and Power walls to be available in Florida at which point we will have those put in and buy a Tesla to replace our current car. That with a pair of electric golf carts.
