We have spoken with a PV company, they have looked at our situation, they are currently providing a formal quotation, then we will act accordingly.
Cool. Thanks for the tips, but I already take care of all the saving juice busyness at home. Thank God (or whoever) I live at a place where I seldomly need heat during the winter. Something pretty close as your avatar. And yes, I sail on boats every now and then,(last question?)
