Archeon: unless you want to invest the time to do this, it'd be better to just go grid-tied. There are a lot of other advantages to being grid-tied also, like having enough power to cover spikes in your normal usage or to compensate for inadequate charging due to several cloudy days in a row. At the very least, I'd put in a switch to be able to revert to the grid if your batteries are depleted (some controllers can do this automatically.)
Agreed!
I didn't specifically mention this, but that was the general idea I had in mind: be self-sustained as much as possible, but still have the main grid as a backup solution. I indeed plan to do this with a capable controller.
I still don't plan to let the government know though.
