edentOne month with a solar battery - real statistics
Igotz80HDnImWinningTIL electricity bills in London are a fuck ton cheaper than in the US even before the solar installation.
poVoqI doubt it’s the cost of electricity itself, but rather that the average European uses a lot less electricity (mainly due to more energy efficient appliances and no AC use).
RivenSmaller houses probably help too
And houses with actual insulation and triple pane windows.
American houses are very well insulated for the most part. Triple pane windows are only marginally better than double.
Size is the biggest thing here.
The appliances are basically the same–no, American appliances don’t generally run on 120v–but I’ll bet average house size is the biggest thing.
Atm it’s about roughly 35-40 cents per kWh. That’s much higher than most places in the US which Google is telling me is 16 cents per kWh.
