Ever since we put solar panels on our off-the-grid cabinâ??s roof five years ago, I have been awed by how they power every electrical need of that building. Pumping water. Igniting the stoveâ??s burners. Lighting. They require no maintenance other than filling storage batteries with distilled water periodically. If we were on the electrical grid, it would make obvious sense to feed our excess power back into the grid.
