I see you say you don't have batteries? Why not some glass mat or deep cycle gel cells? I am confused as don't you have storage charing with what you are not currently consuming and for non light hours? Also we have someone who is on a diesel generator too , out in Puerto Rico where ( pre Maria and Jose mind you still hundreds of thousands still without power 8mo latter) was already in an area where the power provider by the power company only during the daytime and reliability was iffy at best , I wont name him he can do that if he wishes but is an avid Android and pi miner although one of the first I saw to get a Ryzen. Cool to know you are solar.

Batteries just aren't economic based on the grid cost of electricity here. If grid power was high cost or intermittent, then batteries would be worth It, but as it stands the batteries would degrade before we saved enough energy to pay for them.
I hope as battery tech gets cheaper/as electricity costs increase, we can get batteries and at least break even on cost.
