Photovoltaic panels produce juice even in cloudy conditions and for an in-home use as I envision, a moving mount is impracticle & unnecessary.

There are a couple of ways to get efficiency out of a PV cell that we know;
get more light, either by means of putting those dimpled glass covers that, will collect more light, by using lenses of some sort, or by reflecting light into the pannel, also using Fresnel lenses has been becoming pretty popular as well...
You can also get higher efficiency pv cells, or even pv film which is becoming really really popular.
Inverter is cheaper then converting your house to dc.

So I'm suggesting a 100 amp-hour battery
|
I have one, but its not everybody who can get a free 1000VA battery backup unit from work for free, that at 475W will give 17.5 minutes of life... I am planning on extending that though, the inverter should handle it for my use, but its not an ideal solution, i want an inverter so i can backfeed energy when its being made, and use it when it's being used... battery bank is nice, battery bank and a small electrical bill is nicer.
if you have a link to a good one, i would love to buy it within a couple of days... really, i've been looking for an inverter for a great while, problem is, it has to be state of California certified inverter for it to feed back into the grid...
i'd like to get a set of smart reflectors working, it would need a computer, well, more like a very small, low power consumption, no heat sink board, and a controller board, so i can monitor and rotate the reflectors, depending on sunlight... or if there is not enough sun, flip the pannels out so they are in direct path of light... i like my green technology as smart as possible
