Yeah, your place sounds like it's amazing btw, in montana from what your nic says? But yeah that's why Solar isn't blowing up like the internet, it has limitations when it comes to REAL serious draw. It would probably take 1/4 acre or more of nothing but panels that shift with the sun to maintain 90% angle etc.........to make a dent at your place or half an acre of flat ones. Just not really something you would probably be interested in and very costly to get and maintain that much. You have to keep them cool if they get too hot, ones at nellis AFB have automatic water pumps that sprinkle on them every hour or so or they burn out. Plus you gotta clean them etc......
