11.3kW solar system, Heat Pump only heat. Electric Stove, Hybrid hot water, EV.

1700kWh used. $520 ish bill.

(To be fair my girlfriend did a lot of Christmas baking this year, sometimes using as much as 100kWh in a single day. Plus I have a roommate who sits on his gaming PC 12 hours a day. )

Do you have an industrial kitchen? 100kwh runs my whole house for a week

Those really bad days were probably all day baking combined with having the electric heat on and someone running the dryer.

Electric heat alone will jack that up. But yeah the baking increase for sure also spikes it.

It’s been a long time! Started with ffxi for years, moved on to xiv for a bit then never played another MMO after that. Memories of grinding for days on end.

That sounds pretty big for a residential system. How many square feet is your house? Isn’t the average residential solar installation about half that size …?

My house is only 1200sq feet, but almost the entire roof is covered with panels.

I was able to have them design a system around a few really inflated electric bills from when I was mining cryptocurrency (yeah I know). I did this intentionally, because I knew I wanted to get an EV and Heat Pump down the line l.
