Hi, I know anything is possible with the right checkbook, so I guess my question would be if this is reasonable, not possible.
I live in South Dakota, where if you aren't holding onto your hat from blowing off in the wind, you probably aren't outside, and there aren't any tall buildings, trees, etc.. With the winter months dipping into -10F air temperature, plus wind chill, we've seen our electric bill go into the $600+/month range. The majority of the issue is coming from three electric base heaters we have in the house.
So I got to thinking...ideally, it'd be nice to supplement with alt energy strictly for those three heaters. Each heater is rated at 240v 1000w i believe. I was considering a small hybrid solar/wind setup,and running it to a battery bank...then to an inverter, and to the heater. Probably some sort of switch box for when the battery bank runs empty, switch it back to grid power. Is this reasonable? Any ideas where to get started to read? There's so much info on this site that it just melts my brain trying to figure out whats pertinent to what I Want to do.
