Last electric bill for 2019

$-157.20 which brings known credit for the year to $-744.74.  The ~$500 transformer upgrade, a few months ago, was paid out of the credit.  I say "known credit"  because a yet unkown credit of ~$1500 should appear sometime after year end.  Stay tuned.

I am on track to average  $-200+ per month with currently installed PV equipment.  I continue to plan, scheme, and install so my goal is for about $-400/month a year from now.

The really great deals we have enjoyed on Enphase M215 microinverters for the past year or longer have disappeared.  I am very seriously looking at some even better deals on string inverters.  M215s with cabling were costing around $50/panel; the string inverters may cost as little as $15/panel.   The string inverters, however, are less versitile and less safe.

In anticipation of the year end credit, I have reviewed the bill for February 2019.
No dates are given for the credits.  The bill is dated 2/16/2019 for service over the period 1/15/19 through 2/12/19.   Credits are as follows:
Meter 1      1992 kwh     $80.85
Meter 2      5503 kwh     $223.05
Meter 3      2182 kwh     $87.85           $391.75 total

    1. My "grandfathered rate" meter says 14.8 mw "banked". That over production data for the "new rate" meters is not easily/obviously accessible. Without consulting old bills, I am not able to access the "banked" production values for meters that were switched to "new rate" mid year. My "unknown credit" above includes a rough estimate of "banked" for the two converted meters as well as about $600 for the unconverted one.

  2. My bill indicates a credit (overproduction) of 3 Megawatthours for the year.
