Forget cost. If you shut down a hundred power plants what do you think the availability of electricity is going to be? Those smart meters at some point will be cutting you off after you use up your maximum allowed KW’s for the month. Maybe you will be in the dark for a few days a month. or 8-10 hours per day. Who knows? If you are not heavily researching an alternative electrical system start now.
Our 15.5 Kwh solar system was turned on December 29th. It is a bit larger than originally planned, but we are well pleased.
