After billing for first 3 months of 2012, here are the results:

kWh(solar) Elec$ (total/elect) Bank (on/off)
January: 819 $32.04/$5.63 105/0
February: 945 $24.07/$3.11 278/0
March: 987 thru 3/27 $18.79/$0.08 525/0


What size space are you heating/cooling ???

That's a very small KW usage for the average house.


1850 sq ft. Heating and hot water is NG. We averaged about 1100
kWh/month for the two years before installing solar - about 500 kWh min
and 1800 kWh max. We are somewhat more careful in turning of lights etc
since. The 6kW system so far has produced:

Dec: 736kWh
Jan: 818kWh
Feb: 945kWh
Mar: 1100kWh (projected since it's currently 986+ approx 40kWh for 4
more days)

The June number should be the max and I'm guessing 1200 - 1400 kWh
