Joel,

Our off-grid PV/Micro-hydro home (family of five with frequent relatives and
friends living with us).
250 kwh/month consumption.
110 kwh/month from high head Harris turbine.
140 kwh/month from 2.8 kw PV array.

Thank you, Darrin, for hunting up the DOE chart. I'll bet some wrenches
live very energy efficiently. Could you all please take a quick moment to
post your (1) average monthly electric consumption and (2) your RE system
and (3) the RE monthly contribution. Here it the data on my home and
office.
1. 470 kWh/month consumption
2. 32 each SP70 modules net metered through an SW4048 inverter
3. 242 kWh/month from PV
