I live in the midwest.I have a wood burning fireplace, a gas burning fireplace, a gas furnace, an electric floor, and a small portable generator.Next on my list is to make the connections so that my generator can run my furnace's fan.At that point I will have in order:Electric for convenience when it is runningGas for affordabilityWood for pleasureA generator for when only the electric is outWood in case both the electric and gas are outIf I had solar it would probably make the most sense to connect it to the floor. Assuming the watts and volts (or whatever was needed) could get high enough it would not matter if it ran intermittently (i.e. I would not need the cost and waste of batteries) as it would still create savings for me. I suspect it would take a number of years for money saved to pay for the cost of installation.
