Thanks for reading :) What I mean is the net bill over time. Austin Energy buys all the power, and pays me for it in the form of a credit. Then they charge me for everything I use. In the summer, I do have a bill. It might be $20-$40 more than what they paid for the solar I generate. However I have a credit built up in the months when I produce more than I use. The credit accumulates month to month. Come summer, the credit pays the bill, and it actually costs me $0 out of pocket. The very first year the system was in operation, it started in April 2014 and I did not get quite enough credit to cover the summer. My September actual out-of-pocket that year was $6. Those are the last pennies I have spent on electricity.

Although I am curious, you say your electric bill is $0. So does that mean solar system is providing ALL of your electricity, especially during the hot summer months when the A/C is running full blast? How are you managing to do that?

The reason I ask is because I have a 24 panel solar system that provides all of my electricity 8 months out of 12 (100% during the “cooler” months, but partially during the “hot” summer months).
