From what i have read Solar Panels work fine in cloudy weather, Add more panels to bring your supply right up to where you need it, no problem with that. Once installed i will save $1200 to $1500 a year i would normally pay B.C Hydro.
I 'll spend money up front on a PV system, some battery storage ect.. I priced a 1100 watt PV system at $1400, piece of cake, i'll get 3 of them if needed and save bags of money compared to be hooked up to the grid. Its a win win being off grid, no Hydro bills and cheap as dirt acreage(comparatively)
