Heh, I think you missed your format. Don't worry, because my editor also messes
up itself.

I went with batteries because I don't trust the government. The smart-grid
system we have here is designed for the government and power companies to leech
from home solar production. Once you deduct taxes and grid tolls, it
turns out any kwh you pour into the grid is worth 1/6 the value of a kwh from
the grid.

And the problem is the government or power companies may change the deal any
time they see fit.

If you have a battery pack, you have a certain degree of security in that
kilowatts you produce will be put to good use instead of feeding somebody
else's wallet.
