Hmmm...so you want to dip into the Grid with the recent Utility fee hikes?
Have you looked into a couple Windmill Generators, a half decent Solar panel setup and Battery bank housed in small shed. Startup for a system like this could be under 10,000 Not sure if it's something you've considered, but even though we have full utilites run to our rural quarter, I'm going that route. Tired of being tied to the system...and our monthly bill for a small 600 sq ft cottage, unoccupied with only a security light and gas furnace set to 15 C costs us $120.00 for a month It might not fit your needs, but it could be worth looking into
forgot to mention you could back it all up with a diesel geni for high demand periods or maintenance
