An extra kilowatt of modules will only cost you $700. Put up the extra modules and cut the generator run time in the winter.

Howie,
I usually agree to the Kenmore/Sears recommendation but the closest Sears is coming in with is with 18 cu' units that are listed as using 385kWH/yr.
Higher than I'd like. This is for an off grid home and the extra 50 kWh/yr translates to 137 Watt hours per day. For this particular home it will mean an average of 2.5 hours per day of generator run time during our cloudy snowy winter. This is for a small rental house on my property and I want to keep the gen run time down as low as possible. Non-winter times will not be a problem as the solar array will carry the RF as well as all the other loads in the home.
Dave

Dave,
I've always recommended Kenmore (Sears) which we have - they are reliable, quiet, and a good price point typically (especially if you get it on sale which them seem to have every other week). If you look for the right model, you should be able to get one that comes close to that usage, especially in the smaller models. Sears' website lists the kWh yearly usage last time I looked.

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">I'm having difficulty finding a RF in the 16 to 20 cu ft range that
uses less than 350kWh/yr. All of the GE units listed by Energy Star as
300 to 311kWh/yr are no longer being manufactured according to my
local appliance dealers.
I see a Fridgidaire 18.2 cu ft that uses 335kWh/yr (reviews that I see
on this unit complained of loud clunky noises).
Sun Frost units are too pricey for this application.
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
