That is what I did. 90kWp PV to power a house with 6000kWh yearly consumption. It works. And this was really cheap compared to buying expensive batteries that need replacing after 10 years. The 90kWp were about €90,000.00. I installed the modules and DC cabling/inverters myself and let the electrician handle the AC work.

That's a lot of solar panels, right? Where did you put them? I'm currently shopping for a house and am thinking of having enough of a backyard for pv.

Most people don't have enough land for that unfortunately.

Also, ironically now you have enough power to go fully off grid, it doesn't make any sense to do that because you can't sell your mountain of extra summer power!

		Yes, going off the grid would be a waste of resources and somewhat anti-social. I calculated that I would need a minimum of a 300 kWh battery to fully bridge the dark days in winter. This is not sustainable. I would much rather see all my neighbours' electricity prices go down because of my energy input to the local grid. This would help to connect people and combat jealousy regarding the unfair distribution of available land and space.
