I like your plan. If the aproximate power consumption/production is off and you are running short of power you can add more panels. Just like adding more money to your mutual funds. In our calculations we forget, in say 7 years the cost of energy could double and if then you look back to your hay-days of 54yrs old you may say what a great investment. The electric car I think is a steller idea. Charging at home for free.!! Let me think!! do you mean its possible that you can drive on free sunshine. Drive back and forth from home by the gas-station and never have to reach deep into your pocket for gas money. Who could shoot a hole in that. Just for fun take the odometer reading of the well used familly vehicle and calculate how much fuel has it used over the yrs. Now a good estimate of the cost. For our family that equates more than twice the original cost of the vehicle.
