For the lower tiers of energy use in SDG&E service area, the cost is about half, thus the payback is twice as long. This sounds like a similar case for you and is not cost effective until that electric car ends up in your garage:) <br><br>It’s too bad that those who save the most can’t get solar to pencil and that those who are large users in the higher tier can get it to pencil. <br><br>It’s like we are rewarding the large users. <br>Our home includes a three bedroom guest house and a temp controlled 450sq ft wine cellar so we were using about 1400kwh per month. The lighting change out and some other modifications reduced it to about 800kwh and then the solar PV took care of the rest. <br>The best strategy is to use as little as possible, then conserve as much as possible, then when possible knock the remaining usage out with renewable generation.<br>You're much better at the use as little as possible than I am<br>Cheers<br>PederAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5338685099176953133.post-28934773568683224652011-06-22T08:12:55.017-07:002011-06-22T08:12:55.017-07:00We have considered solar many times because we lik...We have considered solar many times because we like the idea of using clean energy. But, we currently average less than $40 per month of electricity for our 2100 sq ft home. So, it just hasn't made financial sense, yet, because the payback period is too long. Maybe if our next vehicle is an EV.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00731611747485823093noreply@blogger.com
