    Thanks for all the great replies and keep them coming.

    As to the regulations, there are no Fed or state regulations but the regulations are set by each power provider and each provider has there own rules so I will have to sort out what my provider will or won’t allow.

    Long way off installing anything yet.

    In S.A. "off peak" is only allowed for hot water and heating.
