R1A is 14.5 cents/kwh for tier 1 (1st 11 kWh/day).
R1B is $8/mo + 13.5 cents for off peak.
If you can stay in Tier 1, looks like there's no reason to go for TOU?

A whole 11 kW per day? Wow - NOT![SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] -
is this a joke?Comment

Above Tier 1 the price is 3 cents per kWh higher (and in summer, there's a third tier that's another 4 cents after the next 22 kWh/day).
So above net 33 kWh/day, TOU could be a win.
Looking at a real example:
I added solar to our house several years ago. (We moved, and now rent out the old house.)
In one of the two units (the one that loves A/C
, solar covers about 50% of consumption; last year, it only averaged above 33 kWh/day net in August (when it hit 40), and I don't think TOU would help enough to be worth it.
Now, that's still heating with natural gas. Maybe if that wasn't an option. and we were heating with a heat pump instead, TOU might pay off.
Is the TOU offering from LADWP just not that attractive, or am I missing something?
(Also, what does this have to do with Musk, and what made it sound like a joke?)Comment
