Yes.

At ten cents per k.watt.hr

The only "problem" is that our energy here in sunny California is nowhere
near 10¢ per KWh. I'm going to get my bill and come back with the actual
numbers, but the first KWh is about 12¢ but that only lasts for a
"baseline" which is about a week. Then the next week is double, then
triple, then more than four times that when you get to the last week.

I'm figuring easily that it's 35¢/KWh here in California. Any other
Californians out there that can help me on the math?


That's a big difference. It's about 8¢ here in east Texas (figuring
from actual electric bills, NOT company ads).
