Further evaluation of my trial/Solar power setup

Just got the October bill and it looks like I saved 69 Kwh compared to last October with similar weather. That only amounts to about $15 but that's something like 30-40% less $$ so compared to my initial estimate of 20% that seems close....

The Kwhs don't match up as neatly as the first couple of week estimate which was right on 3.6 Kwh/day (the same as my current battery) this month's worth of data is about 3 Kwh/day which is likely due to the cloudy days we had....

I'm quite pleased so far....and although the payoff is decades...I'm very tempted to pump more money into a full house system.

This - https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-powerpro-ess-14-3-28-6kwh-capacity-eg4-18kpv-eg4-powerpro-wallmount-battery-9540-pending/ would pretty much supply my full electrical needs and certainly would if double the battery. (and interestingly enough this is all on sale and free shipping :) ).....

Will continue to think/sleep on this. :)

Or.....you can make it a step by step DIY System building up a bit at at time instead of eating the whole elephant at once...if you have the know-how (or friends that do). This is my current approach and my small system is supplying 1/5 - 1/4 of my current electrical needs
