You're definitely in the best use case for it in California I feel like: relatively expensive electricity, big incentives, lots of sunshine, frequent power outages
You don't have that perfect storm pretty much anywhere else in the country.
Also one thing to keep in mind is we have a sliding usage scale for electricity.
If you're within some ass averages you're at 26c per kw, it quickly moves to 33c, and if you exceed an average you're at 50C! per kw, and this amount will never go down.
Also I am going to try and see if I can switch from gas to electric heating... Just to see how much it'll take. Overall I don't generate THAT much but I expect to fully use the 10,500kw annual generating capacity.
You can do the here that is around ~$2500-3500 or so annually for electricity, once I fully utilize it with an EV. ~5-7 year pay off for the system. With no increases in rates, which we all know we will happen. Also the system easily adds more in value than the cost.. bizarre but that's how it is here in cali. So I have no qualms on the "cost".
What kind of whacky ass system is that?! Is that due to state legislation or something?
For reference, I pay $.048 /kWh. So your cost per kWh starts at 5 times more than mine, and could go up to 10 times more if you use too much. My brain can't even comprehend.
