I was just checking our total electric usage for last year and thought I would share so people can compare. In 2019, our house consumed 30,411 kWh and our solar panels offset 8933 kWh of that, so we purchased a net 21,478 kWh from @BCHydro for a total cost of about $2694. 1/6
Our home is 3200 square feet, has 5 people living here, 3 of which are here all day. We heat and cool using a ground source heat pump, we have 2 EVs that we charge at home and collectively drove them about 55,000 KM last year, a 65 gal electric hot water tank & a hot tub. 2/6
Our natural gas bill for 2019, by comparison, was $262, most of which is the just the minimum connection charge. We use natural gas only for our stove and for our BBQ and collectively they used 5.7 GJ. 3/6
