The planet, as a whole, is up 1.25°F the last month, but also just crested 30% of elec from photovoltaics, world wide. The way to finance yours is 6% (?) home loan, paid in 10 years. Own, do not lease. PG&E doubles in ten years** say, from $200/month to 400.
Serious... it will stay at 200, and then, poof! End. Mayne $25 to be "connected." PG&E is now fighting for even more of the pie.
Panels are certified for 80-90% life at 25 yrs. But - get micro
-controllers. Not a 25Kw single controller. If a panel fails you lose IT, (~300w) for a while, not the whole (15-30 kw,) string. Or, if one tree shades some panels for 1 hr. This normally kills the entire seriesed-string.
*PG&E is breaking ground on 10-25 annual increases!!!
DO the math. You annual bill times 1.1 or 1.15... 10 times.
1.06 doubles in 10 years. Will your income?
Mine is 150-200 summer, 300 winter, with LED lighting.
I used to use a average of 740KW/month. About 400 now.
Or save 66% on you electric bill be moving to Utah.
Or 70% by moving to North Dakota.
Hell, I thought I had a high rate but still 60% less than California.
Texas has more "Green " energy than any other state. More than 48 others combined. and yet the power costs 50% of what California charges (as long as you are on a non-flex plan).

NM? Anyway,.a graph of HP curve transiting the torque curve is the historical presentation. No doubt easier to find, 20 years ago.
Surgery early AM. Never been "under" before. Hmmm. A cyst will be scrapped off my bladder. It caused some slight urinary bleeding. Entry is via expanding the peni$. Apparently the pain disallows me being awake to watch or listen. Really good robotic urinary surgeon. Hope I make it back here. The 150 still needs THREE real gauges. $500... Sheesh, Ford. That is messed up.
Good luck with the surgery. My 84 yr old Mother had similar. They removed 2 large cancerous growths from her bladder and did a low impact chemo directly in the bladder. After 6 weeks went back in and found no new growth. Now has weekly immunotherapy for 6 weeks and then follow up visit after 6 weeks from final treatment. Looks like she dodged a bullet. She is the primary caregiver for my Father with alzheimers so we need her to stick around. He just had mild episodes of dimentia, over 2 years, up until xmas. Since the new year it has just taken off. Now going through the process of getting copies of all of his tax stuff, 1099r's, 1099-int's, 1099-div's and ssa, so I can do his 2023 taxes. He has either lost, trashed or misplaced everything he received since Dec 2023. He has been extremely organized as long as I can remember so this is a new thing for me.
I think California is trying to pay off their lawsuits with your bill, Bill. A good friend of mine lost everything in the Paradise fires, and it's still not settled.

Your 281 is nowhere near the low side of a utility bill.
EDIT: In fact it's a bit over mine, ignoring that I got ~$140+ for saving, so my April bill was $80... an annual thing.
