This is all for Feb. 2013 Last year’s
Natural gas bill was $156.96
Electric was $148.44
Car gas bill was $250 (now all solar powered Chevy Volt this year.)
Total utilities with car gas was $554.44

This Year Bills
Electric bill $18.51 (new mini splits making most of the heat $8.29 is meter charge)
Natural gas bill was $42.33 (hot water and extra heat)
Car gasoline $0
Total utilities/Car gas with solar power, Mini Splits and EV car Total this year $60.84

Saving $493.60 compared to last year.

This is very good savings but we had just bought out Chevy volt Feb 2013 so $20 - $30 of the electric bill was probably the Volt. We did not have solar installed at this point last year.
This was actually where we started talking about solar. We both said wouldn’t it be cool to power the car with solar power. That statement got me to start researching solar power.

I am not off the gird but it still feels pretty good to not buy all that gasoline and pay utilities companies so much each month. We just went over 18,000 EV solar power miles today in our Volt.

or if you want deeper info here is another live public link.
