Cost of electricity
I was wondering how come the electricity in my office was not lower after I made some serious improvements/changes.

I compared 12/21 bill vs 6/22. I about floored me.

kw/h

12/21 $0.0161
6/22 $0.0289

Holy crap that is a jump.

The company is Evergy.

This will probably end up in DC. But there are a number of posts related to money in the lounge.

His dad died unfortunately before he was able to see any kind of return on that capital investment. I've ever since then thought solar paneling is a scam.

How much did it cost you and how many panels did you have put on?

Did you buy solar battery's also? How much did that cost?

I'm gonna buy 100 hamsters, breed them to 10,000. Then have hamster wheels for all of them and hook all the hamster wheels up to make electricity.

Problem solved.

Since he said he is in Kansas, I'm guessing that's just the cost of fuel used in power generation. More typically around $0.145/kWh on my bills, all in.

It cost me just under $20k and there are 19 panels on the back side of my house. But keep in mind within 7 days of installation I received a rebate check from Evergy over 2 grand and the tax credit I received was extremely impressive too. Between the rebate and tax credit more than 1/3 of the cost is covered.

Oh and I don’t have a battery. No need. You can store your extra energy on the grid. You only need a battery if you think you will experience a lot of outtages or if you have life preserving devices in your home that depend on electricity.

This had me curious, I’m surprised to see we are higher than most.
100% hydroelectric up here

Last month was .09/kwh and the house uses about 10kwh per day so $40/mo including the $10 in thanks for being a customer fees.

I have a friend who is an electrical engineer who designs substations. He has told me that if 50% of people on any given street plugged in their cars at the same time it would overload the system in their neighborhood.

Additionally building out the grid to support the coming electical demand will not happen as quickly as some are thinking. He is currently designing substations whose equipment won't be delivered for 24-30 months.

Isnt the "solar generator" the sun? Is someone trying to charge you for sunlight? I've been over here selling bridges but there's a guy out there charging for the sun. I gotta step up my game.
