This is all for March. 2013 Last year’s
Natural gas bill was $126.22
Electric was $150.09
Car gas bill was $250 (now all solar powered Chevy Volt this year.)
Total utilities with car gas was $526.31

This Year Bills
Electric bill $8.29 (new mini splits for the heat $8.29 is meter charge we carried forward 85kwh)
Natural gas bill was $30.28 (hot water and extra heat)
Car gasoline $34
Total utilities/Car gas with solar power, Mini Splits and EV car Total this year $73.07

Saving $453.24 compared to last year.

We have had solar for one year.

We saved $1,720 off the electric bill. But this also enabled us to charge our EV car and drive just under 20,000 EV miles saving buying $3,174 in gas. We were able to heat with our new Mini Splits saving $431.20 natural gas.

First year savings was $5,325.2
This is will give a two year payback for the solar then the next year will pay back Mini splits and hot water heater LED bulbs plus some.
I probably won’t detail this out each month anymore but I thought some people would like to see the savings. Achieved form all these projects.
