Scott, Can you make a table of your monthly electricity usage for the last few years?
You can then use this as your baseline. Knowing that you probably have not tried to conserve yet, this will be way over the generation ability you will need for your house. Let me know what your usage needs are. And your zipcode. >From this, we can calculate the equipment you might need to generate your electricity. I think the numbers we are seeing are a little high, and with some conservation, and maybe looking at replacing some high-power appliances with Energy Star version, and some elbow grease on your part, you can probably get there.
