Rooftop solar installation in Palm Springs, Los Compadres neighborhood. In the summer in the Coachella Valley, we expect a pricey electric bill, but $800+ took our breath away! After chatting with a couple of our neighbors, we found out we weren’t alone. We felt a little better knowing that our bill was on par with those who don’t routinely charge 2 electric cars like we do. But, still, $800/month for electricity is a hefty bill that stings, and inevitably leads to discussions of installing solar panels – just as it did when we were comparing SCE bills with our neighbors. And, on that topic ..read more
