No gas lines on my street. So, it's not on the selection list.

This month, the A7 is using 0.412 kWh per day from the grid.
At 16.63 cents per kWh, that comes to 6.85 cents per day. ($2 per month).
Considering we've been taking twice as many showers, I think that's pretty good.
Solar PV DHW works!

This week, at long last, we've finally canceled our daily newspaper delivery.
Now saving $5 a week! ($261 per year, $21.75 per month).

So, we now get our DHW for free, and have money left over for Pizza!!
