I report a couple other effects from powering my casual internet and my mobile by the sun:
My neighbor wants to buy a new tablet computer. She never once considered the new electrical load it will add. Admittedly, a tablet isn't going to use a lot of energy. Far less than a laptop or desktop computer. But my point is, she didn't even consider the electrical load.
You get well used to having all the energy you want come right out of the wall whenever you want it. Which brings me to another thing.
It's pretty damned satisfying to have every component powered by the system fully charged and ready to go. My own well trained electrons, waiting to do my bidding. It just isn't an event to plug your phone or tablet into a wall to charge it while you're using it.
