  • Gas is expensive in California too though.

    I installed solar panels on my house. Given how expensive electricity is in California, I estimated it’d only take me around 5-6 years to break even, and that number keeps going down as they increase electricity prices higher and higher. Electricity prices doubled from 2022 to 2024.

    Electricity is significantly cheaper in areas that have municipal electricity, ran by the city itself. In PG&E’s area, it’s 62 cents per kWh during summer peak. On the other hand, I used to live in Palo Alto where electricity is around 18 cents per kWh, flat rate (no peak and off-peak rates).
