and, how feasible is a diy solar option for a few kwh per day?

i know that the batteries suck, but i'm only using 5-6 kwh per day, with the fans running. when i was trying to save energy last winter, i was using closer to 2-3 on the average day.

so, if i can jimmy up the consumer circuit to a solar converter into a battery that only has to save a few kwh at a time and just let the grid take care of the appliances and lights, maybe i can get the number under $45 without worrying about it as much.

i don't know, though. i'll have to look at it.
