"High" is 25 to 30 c / kWh. This is what we pay in parts of the world that still rely to a large extent on non-renewable energy sources while still trying to reduce our impact on the environment.

Do you have a lot of renewables in your area?

You sound like a fellow CA brotha, unless there's another part of the world as bizarro as my state.

No, that's parts of Europe and Australia too..

FP&L just put up a little solar farm in Arcadia,Fl.

They were going to put up Wind Turbines in Port Saint Lucie,Fl.But the water front owners said they would be too ugly & drop property values,yeah right Sad

We do have a nuke plant though.All I know is with 3gh mining about 1/3 goes to the electric company Roll Eyes

Can't wait for those ASIC's Cool

In other words when Gov. is out of money to pay your subsidies you're fucked.
Nice plan you have there.

Nope, when Gov. is out of money to pay the subsidies then the bank is fucked and the government needs to bail them out.
That the really nice part of the plan.

(But the government does not have to pay these subsidies out of it's own pocket, there is a green tax on all sold electricity from non-green sources like nuclear and gas turbine installations, so the subsidies are 100% paid by those who don't use green power, not the government)

5000kwhat $0.15/kwh would cost ~$750USD . Why would you pay $25,000 for $750 worth of electricity?

I paid EUR 100k for 30k Wp system, so in my region that generates about 30.000 kWh per year. In average that is 2500 kWh per month, at our current prices that is a value of EUR 550 per month. So about 15 years until break-even if no parts like the inverter need to be replaced after 10 years.

Yes, those numbers sound odd and at a loss, but the government (via taxes on other electricity consumers) pays EUR 10k / year in subsidies for the system, for the next 20 years. That puts things in a different perspective (especially as the entire purchase is paid for with a loan that is paid off by the subsidies)

i think he meant he can use 5000kwh a month off the grid.

Thats effectively = 5000 / 720 = 7kwh.

Which is possible if you have space for all the panels

I'm sorry that is correct.

~5000kwh per month, but we run several households - the bunker (yah it's my datacenter/office and it used to be a fallout shelter) and all our other power needs almost entirely from solar...

It isn't on anyone's roof tho... we've got a shallow southward facing hill that was perfect for putting panels on.

You're very lucky then. Great landscape for many things. I have hobbies that require tons of space hence... i can only pick one or two and change them seasonally.
