I'm glad that it worked out for you.  From all I have heard, the Patriot energizers have a good reputation.
 
 If you ever want to take that energizer off of the house system, since it is AC/DC, you could easily do so.
 With an old, used car battery (fully charged) you could hook in a 10W solar panel, and keep it hot forever.
 
Kencove has a 10W solar panel for about $40.
 
 A good option if/when your household use ever maximizes your system, or if you need to set it up at greater distances from the house.
