first year off grid

Well my one year anniversery living off grid on solar is tomorrow morning. One long grey winter, one wet rainy spring, one easy summer and one nerve racking fall has passed since I flipped the switch on my off grid system. Im pretty thrilled with how it has all gone so far and dont think I would change much of what I have done with the design and install of the system. Thank god I found this site and studied every post for many months before I purchased a single piece of equipment. Many more mistakes would have been made at substantial costs both financially and mentally.
The idea going in was to design a system that would produce about 5kwh of power a day with minimal generator usage in not so solar friendly Maine. I came to the 5kwh number by monitoring all of our usage with a kilo watt meter. The only problem was that I was moving to a new house with a well and different appliances, so some guess work was needed. I guess I got lucky because my grand total usage for the year came out to 1342kwh with a total of 12hrs of generator usage. I dont think 3.67khw per day is to bad for a city slicker who moved to the country to follow a dream.
Thank you all for all the information you so willingly give to anyone who asks. I cant imagine how frustrating it must be to answer the same not so simple question "how much panel do I need to get off the grid" over and over. And thank you to NAWS for giving all of us a wonderful place to watch and learn everything that is solar.
