re: Just got my cleco bill...

Ours hasn’t increased with coast epa. Last bill was $260 for around 2600 KWh usage. 2900 sq ft total electric. My family down in Houma getting hammered by entergy. Fuel surcharges are roughly half the bill. Most everyone I talked to looking at near double what their bill should be

Not being a dick when I say this, but doesn't it take something like 20 years to recoup the costs on solar panels? What's the selling point for it?

---

I was thinking about Solar also but looking into it , not worth the cost at this time

Impossible. It’s only Entergy bills going up.

not true. Mine has went up $100 more each of the last three months. Demco says hold my beer

Most solar systems you see on houses are just feedback and lower your bill. The last month with all of the rain and clouds you would be lucky to get 15% efficiency.

Last month mine was $501. I used less electricity than I did for last year's July bill and my bill was almost double this year.

Go Solar

the only way this made sense was the gov tax credixks.

Mine was $480, which is by far the highest it has ever been

several in my neighborhood posted bills in the $1000-$1200 range

my neighborhood is mostly 100 year old homes, so a lot have zero insulation and single pane windows still

I'm one of the few that had upgraded windows and insulation in the attic and underneath
