It's been 3 years since I did the last report. Sadly PG&E isn't doing reliable true up statements anymore, and with the alternate electric companies that are proving our electricity now, it's unclear what we'd have been paying anymore.
Anyway, here are the numbers:
Year # PV Kwh PG&E Kwh Used House Kwh Used Yearly Bill EV (car)
2010 - #1 8503 1602 10105 -$39.87
2011 - #2 8813 1209 10022 -$38.80
2012 - #3 8402 674 9076 -$110.43
2013 - #4 8366 486 8852 -$134.06
2014 - #5 8840 -30 8810 -$210.74
2015 - #6 8665 1027 9692 -$41.38
2016 - #7 8437 1386 9823 ?
2017 - #8 8335 1910 10245 $26.21 613Kwh
2018 - #9 8665 1922 10250 ? 209Kwh
Total 76689 10186 86875 N/A 822Kwh
A few notes:
EV use is very low because I don't drive much and mostly charge at work
The amount of energy I charged the car with at home amounts to about 2400 miles
In 9 years we took about 10Mwh from the grid, or what we'd have used in a year before
Our panels made 76Mwh, which at an average of 25c/Kwh would have cost $19,000, but due to time of use pricing, they actually saved us around $21,750, which is getting quite close to the panel costs. If the average price was closer to 30c/Kwh (very possible with tiers), then we saved about $26,000, which is the full price of the panels. |
