We need a solar system to cover the whole house, we have a gas powered generator. One of the prior habitants here worked at a solar company and had a kick ass system, which he took out before leaving. But the price point and incentives are such that it makes a lot of sense here to go solar, especially in an old house that uses a ton of electricity in a place where almost every storm results in a smattering of blackouts.
