Hi Everyone,

xPosting this from reddit. There is a new power plan from my electric company that features the following rates:
  • Super Off-Peak (12 a.m. – 6 a.m.)
    • First 400 kWh: FREE
    • Over 400 kWh: $.0450 per kWh
  • Off-Peak (6 a.m. – 1 p.m.) and (9 p.m. – 12 a.m.)
    • $.07181 per kWh
  • On-Peak (1 p.m. – 9 p.m.)
    • $.1350 per kWh
  • You are allotted up to 400 kWh free per billing cycle during the Super Off-Peak period only. Any consumption over 400 kWh is billed at $.0450 per kWh
So given this scenario, would it be worth it for me to get a powerwall? My power bills are usually over 100, sometimes high 100s.

My monthly meter stats are listed below in kWh.

High Usage:
1,574
Low Usage:
1,178
Average Usage:
1,378

Daily
High Usage:
4.44
Low Usage:
0.85
Average Usage:
2.92
Total Usage:
72.91

Obviously I'm not going to buy one of these things outright. Any decent finance/lease deals that makes sense for me?
