Perhaps you haven’t been waiting for this news, but I’m pretty excited about our first ConEd bill since we went solar.
Last year our electric utility bill for April was $209.33. This year’s ConEd bill—$25.01!!!
Now, we had to pay SolarCity a $92.97 monthly rental fee for the solar panels, but that still means our combined electric bill was just $117.98, a savings of $91.35!
Last year we purchased 939 kilowatt hours (kWh) from ConEd. This year just 35. The sun provided the overwhelming bulk of our electric needs.
I must admit, it’s a giddy feeling looking at the ConEd meter and seeing the kWh usage decrease day to day. When ConEd read the meter on May 1 it read 1,594 kWh. On May 6 the meter showed 1,548 kWh.
Oh, happy day and let the sun shine.
