This is the first anniversary of the first successful meter reading by PSE&G after activating the panels.  That means that we can run the numbers.

All values are kWh.  This year’s date is 7/21/2005 – last year was 7/21/2004.

Inverter 1 This Year:  4279  Last Year:  677  Total Inverter 1:  3602

Inverter 2 This Year:  3544  Last Year:  565  Total Inverter 2:  2979

Total Solar Generation:  6581

Meter Out This Year:  8724  Last Year:  1365  Total Bought:  7359

Meter In This Year:  4823  Last Year:  564  Total Sold:  4259

Net Metering Purchase:  3100

Total Electricity Use = Total Solar Generation – Total Sold + Total Bought = 9681

Solar Generation Percentage = Total Solar Generation / Total Electricity Use = 68.0%

Our installer predicted that we’d generate 2/3 of our usage.  He was pretty much dead on – the real numbers are just a smidge better than that.  Additionally, we reduced our utility demand by that much – reducing utility pollution.

When it comes to dollars, we actually did better than these numbers show.  PSE&G rates increase above 600 kWh per month in the summer.  Our usage allows us to avoid going over 600 kWh net purchase per month, avoiding the higher rates.

Our savings works out this way:

Green Mountain Energy Supply Charge: $0.07508 / kWh

PSE&G Delivery Charge:  $0.0.30305 / kWh (the lowest rate – it’s higher above 600 kWh in the summer and higher in the winter as well at $0.0384/kWh)

Total Rate:  $0.10539 / kWh

Our Savings:  $693.57 for one year

That would produce a 23 year payback but with the added $1251 from the sale of the SREC, it’s a 8.5 year payback.

And the air is cleaner.

Well, my SREC’s for 2004-2005 sold.  I got a check in the mail yesterday for $208.55 for each of 6 SREC’s.

Considering that I was offered anywhere from $115 to $150 by the big guys (Sharp, Mainstay) in the last month, it seems that I did the right thing holding out for a better offer.

They frequently resort to rash ad reckless driving, jumping red lights, drunken driving, and flouting traffic rules, making others on the road truly vulnerable. brand cialis australia Vital M-40 capsules are another efficient herbal capsules, which provide essential cheap viagra australia nutrients to the body to recover. The fact that it balances humour viagra cheap sale and sensitivity makes the narrative a complete winner. For an adult, it regulates libido and sexual performance. purchase at site buy tadalafil online That check takes a year off my payback!  If this rate holds up, my payback will drop from 16 years to 8 years!

One question – please reply in Comments.  Is SREC income taxable for Federal or NJ purposes?  I’m assuming that it is, but I’d like to hear from someone who has done some research.
