I currently have 4 KWp installed and aimed badly, but also a 10 KWh battery pack. My total expenditure to achieve that was <$5000 and it's supplying the majority of my needs. I have plenty of panels remaining to put up as soon as my re-roofing is done. I need to increase the battery capacity. I bought used and installed myself.

Super impressive, that’s a lot of installed energy capacity for < $5k!

Is the $5.66 / 18.85kWh = $0.30 per kWh factoring in how much was your own supply?

$0.30 is about what I pay in MA for Generation plus Supply plus Taxes & Fees all together, and MA is on the higher side for energy costs in the US. Still very happy to be driving a Tesla right now though.

$0.30 was my marginal utility rate, now $0.32. Thanks, PG&E.

My own supply is marginally free.
