We sized it to what he actually uses.

Jim’s place runs on a lot of power, more than 7,000 kWh in a single winter month. A roof array could not cover that, so we built a ground-mount system in his yard, sized to his real usage instead of an average-home guess.

Once it switched on, he stopped renting most of his power from the utility and started making his own. His statements went from the high side of $500 to about the cost of staying connected.
