No. We heat with propane. In fact, we do use a fair amount of propane. We cook with propane, we dry clothes with propane, we heat water with propane, we heat the house with propane. That said, they only fill the tank twice a year, and we don't need a full tank when they do it.

Wow. That's a lot of power from my perspective. We use less than 700 KWh per month. We live in the country, so we have to pump our water (big well pump and a pressure pump); so that is a big influence on our power usage. I have a hard time imagining how you might use 5X what we use.

So finally decided to move my home off-grid. However, would prefer to keep it grid tied just

in case. My location has almost zero power outages but I plan on getting a Tesla Powerwall

for times when the sun doesn't shine.  Not looking to sell back to the grid. 

 

In the past year, my greatest power usage was 3500 kWh/month. If power was "free," that 

would probably increase. Other than oil heat for the coldest days, I'm 100% electric already.

I'm in Maryland so I know peak sun is limited but have plenty of southly roof space to 

compensate. (And even a good amount of easterly space for the mornings.

 

What would people recommend for inverters? Any other recommendations I should consider?
