The secret behind the “ zero ” electricity bills for American households
A few months ago, Phasegreen installed a Solar power energy storage system in a typical American home in Saratoga, California . The results are exciting, based on the following user-supplied data:(The average monthly electricity bill is calculated based on the electricity bill in April each year )
- Before installation: The average monthly household electricity consumption was 1010KWh, and the electricity bill was as high as $470 ( based on last year’s California power company electricity bill receipt of $0.46/ KWh )
- After installation: Only 120KWh of electricity is purchased from the grid each month, and the electricity bill is only $56
- Income(feeding back to the grid): 472KWh of Solar power was fed back to the grid, earning a profit of US$38 (according to the average electricity price of household Solar power feeding back to the grid in California under the NEM 3.0 policy of 8 cents/ KWh )
- Actual electricity bill: only $18 , saving up to $452 per month compared to before installation !
This not only helps users significantly reduce electricity costs, but also creates significant environmental benefits:
- This is equivalent to reducing coal consumption by about 435 kg per month.
- Reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 1.13 tons per month.
