I will be going back on grid on Nov. 1st. Statement and preparations have been made. Point proven. Though I would like to add solar and wind somehow to tie in to basically cover the "constant" energy load that exists, or at least cut down on what I purchase from the grid. Ya know the fridge and sump and such. Though I bought timers to run my power hogs only during off peak times. I can also then have my batteries charge at nite, turn off the main breaker in the morning, and use my "cheap stored energy".

Quite a few companies offer "tiered pricing" but they don't advertise it, you basically have to do some investigating and ask for it. Also depends on the competition and how they are regulated.
