Savings from use of solar power would thus be cut almost in half for most people, she said, noting that solar can reduce the average $80 PG&E bill by about $40. This would significantly lengthen the time it would take for the typical $15,000 solar system to pay for itself.

Is this right? If so, these aren't "sky high" rates. During midsummer I regularly pay $300 electric bills here in Florida.

I hadn't thought about that but you're right. $80 is the average PG&E monthly bill out there? For what, $80 per room?

If my DP&L (Dayton Power and Light) bill came in at $80, I'd call these folks PDQ to find out what the heck is going on. I'd be worried they're saving it all up to dump on me all at once.

The monthly electricity bill for my 3 br APARTMENT in Manhattan cycles from a winter low of ~$275 to a summer high of ~$850.

I get SO tired of hearing other folks complain.
