PB,
This is halfway before my 4.2KW system went intertie (end of August) so this year should be better.(the 4.2 system doesn't show up on this chart either so basically this is a 6.44KW yearly summation) Also the roof modules are east/west. (I can't complain, it was a free grant) but may move them off the roof to a south facing position at some point. Once the snow covers them I either have to get on the roof and brush them off or wait for a warm spell and thaw.
With all this I am net zero but I'm not heating fully so it's not really fair. Once the windmills and microhydro go in and I get the mini-split I'll really see where I stand.

Vern,
DC charging won't give you that much more as the new inverters are running 95% plus efficiency. Saving on the cost of an inverter might help but don't you still need them to run the house?
