Will be glad to answer any questions about this stuff.

Crappy picture of my Outback power panel.

Do you ever have to halt the turbines to prevent the system from being over-filled, say if it's been very sunny and windy and the temperatures were perfect so you didn't need to run AC or Heat for several days in a row? Do you have a generator backup just in case? I'd love to go this route in the future, and was thinking about using propane to heat the house and power a backup generator for emergencies. That's something I'd like to do regardless of being on/off grid.
