Thought I would share the excitement of one of the Mt Pleasant Solar Coop members who went solar last year!
Subject: Anne's electric bill for May - solar works
$56.11
KWH 2009: 1130
KWH 2010: 367
I have cut my electric use this month by 67%.
The devil will be in the hot, hot months of July and August. Plus, my
new tenant uses his AC much more than my last tenant. Still, down 67%
for May is pretty cool.
This is very exciting.
The solar renewable energy movement in the Washington DC metro area is very strong, but the process of going solar and getting proper credit for produced solar energy is a continual struggle. There are 12 neighborhood cooperatives are playing a big role in advocating for solar energy. These coops have joined together to form DC Solar United Neighborhoods (DC SUN). Mike Barrette and Anya Schoolman, of DC SUN use this blog to keep you informed of key issues. Visit www.dcsun.org for more info.

Besides changes in year over year consumption, you probably should consider was it hotter last year compared to this year...
