I think we're loosing money by using SunRun solar penal.

First, I believe you only included your Delivery Charge when looking at your Edison credit. You also have the Generation Charge which is about $0.07 per kWh. So you are getting about $0.26 per kWh in credit on the winter bill you posted. Second, some of your production is during the more expensive times and you get more for those kWh. Third, your production is well below the guarantee on your contract. Are you getting the data from your inverter or from Sunrun?

California is working on a new state flag:

I'm just shocked at your KWH rate out in CA. Looks like you have 16 years left on the lease.

We moved out in a house which has Sunrun solar panel about 2 years ago.

We heard that solar panels pay itself. So we liked that the house has the panel(8kW) already.

However today I figured out how much we loose money with the panel.

I checked that SunRun panel have produced about 10580 kWh for 12 months. And Edision give credit $0.190/kWh for super off peak.

So we saved about $0.190/kWh * 10580 kWh = $2010

Of course, 10580kWh was produced on off peak time and mid peak time too which Edison pay more. So the $ the panel produced should be little more than that.

Let say the Panel produced $2300 worthy of energy, instead of $2010 for one year.

However we pay $199 monthly to Sunburn.

$199*12= $2388 / year

Also we had to pay $661 to Edison one time last year for NEM(Net Energy Metering)

So by using Sunrun panel,

We spend about $2388+$661

And we saved $2300

So we loose $749.



By the way, our daily average electricity usage was 9.62 kWh, which is 3511kWh yearly.
Please let me know if it is normal or not, and what is the best solution for us now.
We will charge our Tesla(we will drive 50-60miles a day) at our home, so we will use more electric.


I attached two Edison invoices - one winter, one summer -
I also attached a contract with Sunrun, and some data from Edison.
Please review, and let me know if we're loosing money, or not.
By the way, I edited above pdf files to delete personal information.

Thank you.
