Hello Rob!

RM> Actually it was set up with a contract with Ontario Hydro
RM> and all the power they made was measured and fed back into
RM> the grid and they were paid for that power while still
RM> being billed like normal for the power coming into the
RM> house.

Ah.. so no batteries.


RM> It seemed like that was going to be super profitable since they
RM> were being paid per KWH more than 4 times what they had to pay
RM> for the electricity they bought. But as I said it didn't work out
RM> too well for them.. and the later contracts that Hydro set up like
RM> that paid less than half per KWH what my sister was being paid.

Is the contract still in play?

I know someone who has such a set up too.  During the summer,
the results are very good!  But.. in the winter the returns are
poor - primarily because they don't clean the snow off the
panels!
