The bit that tracks system performance is down. Exactly how many kWh I generate is unknowable, but from my net metering I know it is close to my total usage rate.

I have panels with 800 Watts peak capacity. Figure I dunno, 5 to 6 kWh per day?

PG&E has a tiered rate structure

They list anywhere from 11.5¢ to 35.8¢ per kWh, and assert the average is 16.5¢

They impose a minimum energy charge 14.7¢/day/meter for the privlege of having a grid connection.

Oh, and any “excess” power I generate is a gift to PG&E. Welcome to Caleeeeeeeforneeeeya...

That makes calculations easy doesn't it? /sarcasm tag/

Time to move : ) So you get that kind of savings and have to pay for power in the morning, evening and night?
