In Reply to: Solar Power System Impact On Audio Quality Question posted by Vinyl Valet on December 2, 2016 at 15:13:49:
in return the power company "eases up" on your meter, and slows it down; so much so on mine it actually spins 'backwards'. My bill for the last 3 months has been averaging approx negative $9.00 each month.
Of the 18 solar panels, I harness approx 18,000 watt hours per day; enough to power 1,800 ten watt light bulbs for roughly one hour. Since May (when they were installed) I've harnessed over 5 million watt hours; enough to power roughly 4,000 homes for one hour.
In case anyone's wondering, the cost to pay for the panels monthly is about a third less than my original electric bill was monthly.
