   Not so fast!  Your power company and your county building department   
   have "rules" about these things.  You might be able to get by with an ad   
   hock sub-1KW installation, but it likely will never pay for itself.  If   
   you have a smart meter, you might not even get away with that!   
      
   Also don't fool yourself that you are buying a standby power system,   
   because a grid-tie inverter requires the grid to operate.  So if the   
   grid goes down, your system will refuse to generate power.
