My current electric bill is between $50 - $100. For those who have installed solar panels, have you seen significant benefits from them in terms of the tax benefits, reduction in electric bill costs, and potential refunds from PG&E? Also, how much were the upfront costs for an 3.7kW 8 or 10 panel array?

That is a dream electric bill. Not worth the panel install in my opinion. For comparison, my bill runs roughly $50 a month and I pay an annual bill of 6-700. That includes solar. I have a lease solar plan (came with the house). My solar bill is $120 roughly a month. Huge savings, under $200 all in. For context, I have a 6 bedroom, 4 bath house with pool, spa and nice yard and I run air conditioning year round.

Wow, that’s a fantastic electric bill!

Nothing to add to your situation, but PG&E are a bunch of crooks that should be imprisoned for their gross negligence

Check your utility provider to see if they offer that thing where they buy back your excess energy from your solar panels into the grid.

I think it's called balanced metering. I may be wrong about the name.

But either way, not all utilities are required to do that.

Net Metering :)

Both have plenty of funding, with my current company still trying to find product/market fit.

I am very interested in it, but have only been in my current PM role for about 7 months.
Lots left to do and would hate to just leave them right now.

How would you approach this?
