As someone who paid $1.50 MORE per Gallon this week then last week prices ARENT Soaring because TRUMP Told me they WERENT! STOP believing EVERYTHING you Sheeple!

-Republican Voters!

Yesterday night we charged our car for the equivalent of 6 cent per kWh.
2 days earlier we charged for free using surplus power from our solar panels.
On average in the winter we can charge during the night for around 15 cent per kWh. from April to September (both months included) we can pretty consistently charge for free from our solar panels in Copenhagen at Latitude 55° North.
If you live further south, you will be able to do even better. All of USA except Alaska has way better conditions for solar power than we do.
And the solar system only cost $30k!

Ours is 11 kWh with a 7kWh battery, complete with installation it was $18 k, but that includes 25% sales tax.
So without tax it’s $14.5 k.
But that was 2½ years ago, and although that is not so long ago, prices have dropped dramatically here because prices were inflated due to the energy crisis caused by Russia invading Ukraine, and Russia blocking gas deliveries to Europe.

But to be fair, we didn’t buy the entire solar system, just a few solar panels. 😋
