The first knee jerk response to go solar and begin taking on a huge responsibility and lock yourself into more payments. Which is typical.

But why not figure out why you used so much electricity? You say energy friendly but that bill doesn’t represent it. Even at half the rate that’s a ton of energy. (Look at the comment with the dude has solar + paying 300)

My bill was $189 (record high) for 1600 square feet using oil. Mostly because I’ve been supplementing using space heaters.

Maybe an energy audit, or look at your month over month usage and see where the spike is. I’ve gone through all my equipment and calculated how much electricity I use and why.

My hot tub for example, I estimate is about $30 a month by itself and the heaters are $40 ($1-1.50 per day) the math worked out close because last year this time my bill was $120

Having control and knowledge over your usage helps stability in your bill. That’s energy friendly ;)

The rush to get solar and keep carelessly burning up energy blows my mind here. Don’t forget to switch your supplier and save 10 cents per kw.

Lastly: oil heat burns a lot of electricity as well with hot water. The blower motor constantly runs, I replaced mine with new energy efficient one.
