Before solar, I'd typically use about 1,800kWh from my utility per month. Now, almost two years with solar, the total grid power I have imported is 1,332.
While I'd love to see more negative bills, having an electricity bill of $0.50 is, well, not priceless, but almost.
I think my utility, like so many others, are finding ways to reduce the amount saved. For instance, our electric rates (before taxes and fees) was around $0.08/kWh. They recently increased the flat bill rate from $5.50 to $15.00 and reduced the energy charge by a little over a penny/kWh.
For now though, with summer in full swing (Florida), I'm very happy with fifty cent electric bills.
