       The power company finally generated our April bill! This is the first one with solar stuff on it.So for the 16 billing days of the new setup, we generated more than we used and got a credit of $6.79! 😄April, though, is the "forfeit" month when they zero out the year's credits so we also then immediately lost our $6.79 credit. 🙁But the final billed amount for those 16 days was just the (prorated) basic service charge.Damn near free.

       Specifically, the total billed amount for those 16 days was $8.15 due to the prorated service charge minus a "monthly parallel generation cash out" which is some kind of computation of excess generation vs. used power which totaled -$1.23.So the final bill for 16 days of electricity was exactly $7.00. (after tax)While it hasn't been too cold lately, that's 16 days running our electric furnace/heat pump too.So, yeah, damn near free.
