my quarterly bills were over $500, so even if my system only covers my usage, it will still be paying itself off in 3 years even if it makes no credit. that means it would make its money back in 3 years.

How are you guys covering your total quaterly bill???

We use 15kwh daily and half of that is during the day so once the solar syetm is installed it should cover half plus the lousy 0.08 cents tariff... So our night usuage we still have to pay!!!
