Energy Bill Shows Solar Drop - Awesome

Utility Bill Shows Solar Savings
Just got my second springtime utility bill and the drop was so much the meter reader installed a new meter! Yup. I've only blotted out my account number, payment, and address.  The bars tell it all. From last May through September, I had a pool pump running almost 24/7, plus a/c with solar cooking. Our December through February was C-O-L-D and heating took a heavy toll. I'm old and have chosen comfort in my retirement, with occasional solar cooking. Then, I started solar cooking in earnest at the end of February-early March. April and May show the drop with warmer days and solar cooking.  I think it's worth it. Don't you?

  1. That's great! I've got to get better organized and find a good place to set up the ovens to do that here.

  7. @Chile: It will all fall into place.

    @POH: Yeah, it's like anything else, you maintain the habit. Low bills is my spur.

    @jaz: Nice to see your pumpkin here and that you do get out to play!

    @Sarah: Yup, that's when the reality sinks in, when you get the bill and they keep sending out new meters! Haha.

    @Tractor Mom: I've sent you a response.

    @Lori: No, I don't cook all the time in the solar oven but I use it as often as possible when there's a sunny day. It's so easy that I don't even think about it. But, I combine all my kitchen appliances and the solar oven is simply another one. Because it really does affect the utility bill, I use it more often than anything else and really want others to enjoy the advantages.

    @Christina: Love seeing that meterman making the trip; heeheehee

  10. Wow, that's awesome! I'd never heard of solar cooking before, but I sure love a good low electric bill (especially since I live in Florida where the A/C jacks up the bill this time of year). I'm going to have to read more about this! Thanks for stopping by my blog for my SITS Day today, I really appreciate it!
