I haven't bothered with approval and installed an illegal 1.6 kWp system, and illegally (but safely) have the meter running backwards some of the time. Averaging 6 kWh/day so far. So make about half of the electricity I consume in a year.
I will probably add some storage next year, or so.

In Iowa we have so many wind turbines, it's really cool to see some of the fruits of their labor.

The last line of the article I can personally attest to. I am trying to install solar panels on my house and the interconnection approval has taken over 8 months and I expect the overall project will be well over a year. It was originally planned to be up and running in 6 months.
