I have a 9600 watt kiln that will be used 12-24 hours at a time 2-3 times a week possibly 4. I want to see if there is a cost effective way to offset the energy use with photovoltaics considering I live in the Northeast near Philadelphia (so you know the solar conditions here).

I've already done the basics for reducing my energy consumption, including home insulation, solar attic fan, energy star appliances, flourescent light bulbs, recycling, and composting.

The kiln is a necessary Energy Hog that I'd like to be more comfortable with environmentally and financially. I would appreciate any help to get me started.
