Does anyone here use either grid-tied or off-grid solar power?

[Subdivisions]

I'm writing an article on solar power and, out of curiosity, I am wondering if any DUers use solar power for either their home or perhaps in a remote location such as a cabin or off-grid home, in your business, or in some other way.

If so, please discuss in this thread.

We've got a great southern exposure, and since our needs are minimal, we're averaging about an excess of 200KWh/month right now.

Been thinking about gettling some heat pumps to reduce our gas usage in the winter and use up those excess kilowatts.

I answered in your post in EE, but would love to read some other responses.
