Starting May 1st 2023 I wanted to see if I could generate enough credits to make an entire year without a power bill. I was super excited when I reached the end and Spot Power gave me my credit balance.
Here is my 12 month bill showing the credit.
During the year I never paid for my monthly fixed charges, the charges for grid electricity, the distribution or transmission or anything else. It is like having my own little energy reactor on my room making money.
Something to be aware of if you want to try this is you have to specifically ask the power company to not credit back your micro-generation credits. Generally they are required to this if you have a >$200 credit or so. That probably would have been smarter, but this seemed like more fun. My peak credit was $1350 which is how I managed to get through the winter with a bill.
Regardless it was another way to look at return on investment other than pure financial like in my 2023 performance post.
