Phil:

You are correct!  It has been verified.  This is the essence of my
enthusiasm.  Any entity (residential, farm, commercial, public) that can
pump water at night into adequate storage and net meter all day has about a
3 to 1 financial advantage.  This, coupled with rebates and alleged grant
funding should make this the slam-dunk of solar electric programs.  i look
forward to more discussion on the subject.
