If you can only expect 2000 kWh per year, the $200 in cost reduction results in a simple payback of 50 years. You gotta be awfully green-minded to buy into that one. The electronics are expensive if grid connection or battery storage are involved. Your idea of a simple resistive heater is the best deal. I know from the Toshiba Nuke article some people in the Yukon are paying 47 cents per kWh which brings the payback to a reasonable 10 years. Terry
