Hooked up the solar panels to the Solidin grid tie inverter this
weekend, and with everything off in the house, the electric meter
turned the other way.

This is a landmark moment, I really was producing my own 'mains' -
there is nothing like the sence of independence that comes from having
your own source of power.

I do have a ton of batteries to run off the system as well, these are
charging up of the house mounted wind generator.
