Yes I think so and can now kind of control the energy bill. The family wants to go through the night remaining off the grid and we shall see how we can get to that point and a lot still needs to happen before we can accomplish this. Having no bill would be the goal or one that is so small it would make no difference what the energy prices were.
I look forward to it as I am still learning and I think this is a fun project to mess about with. When I eventually return to Europe or UK I will definitely be going solar and hopefully by then would have fine tuned exactly the right size to stay off he grid no matter the weather. We had UK weather 3 days ago with overcast and rain all day and we had no issues and still generated sufficient energy to run the house normally.

I will do another summary post for this month. It won't be great production due to lack of sun, but the battery saves us money.
