   PeeScent is rather the dullard, Sir!  He, like many other fools,   
   often confuses rooftop solar water heaters with photovoltaics.   
      
   Idiots see four panels and assume (make an ass out of themselves)   
   they are looking at photovoltaics.  Truth be known if one installs   
   enough photovoltaics to run the average house's total electricity   
   needs one needs a solar farm mounted on cleared land of at least   
   100 3-foot by 5-foot solar panels. Not to mention a giant bank   
   of storage batteries - about forty, 12-volt, deep cycle, flooded    
   or gel cell batteries PLUS a giant inverter producing a max of    
   about 10,000 watts.    
      
   Off the grid living as if one is ON the grid is wildly expensive.
