Another Reason to Go Solar: Doing the Home Electric Energy Math
Working a solar power system into my budget means I’m always doing the math.
Here’s an interesting energy math equation:
1 kilowatt-hour = 1 pound of coal
This means that every kilowatt-hour you shave off your electric bill you are refusing to burn a pound of coal.
To learn how much coal it takes to power you home, you need to know how many kilowatt-hours your home uses.
Find this information on your monthly electric bill.
