   Hello Rob!   
      
    RM> Actually it was set up with a contract with Ontario Hydro   
    RM> and all the power they made was measured and fed back into   
    RM> the grid and they were paid for that power while still   
    RM> being billed like normal for the power coming into the   
    RM> house.   
      
   Ah.. so no batteries.   
      
      
    RM> It seemed like that was going to be super profitable since they   
    RM> were being paid per KWH more than 4 times what they had to pay   
    RM> for the electricity they bought. But as I said it didn't work out   
    RM> too well for them.. and the later contracts that Hydro set up like   
    RM> that paid less than half per KWH what my sister was being paid.   
      
   Is the contract still in play?   
      
   I know someone who has such a set up too.  During the summer,     
   the results are very good!  But.. in the winter the returns are     
   poor - primarily because they don't clean the snow off the     
   panels!
