My price per Kwh is actually cheap at $0.087 but I get the other BS along with it... yay

My 16.4kw system peaks at about 9.7kw in early January... looks like I need to play with the angle a bit.. thanks for the info

So using your batteries to shave off the peaks is the way to go I suppose

Do you think it would be worth the trouble.. more winter production would be nice for sure.

45 degrees is optimal winter angle... the rack won't tilt that far as the pivot slots in the supports only allow up to about 30 degrees...
