Alt Energy to power the tank

[spreerider]

you can use a computer UPS for short term power outages to run heaters and pumps but lights would kill one in hours.

best method is to get a small honda genset and use that in the event of an outtage,

if you used a bunch of solar pannels and a battery bank and an inverter you could feed power back into the grid on bright days and get a credit from bchydro then get a slight decrease in consumption when its cloudy.

Does anyone know if feeding power back into the grid is allowed in Alberta? Seems to me that it is but the hoops are almost impossible for the little guy to jump through.
