electricity bills

 We have a household of 4 yet we used to be told our usage was that of one that had 2 and half people and we still got bills of over $400! This means any other household would be getting quarterly bills of around $800- 1k. Why did they stop putting out the information? Perhaps because the bills did not correlate with the usage?

We recently put on more solar panels.This meant that with the government rebate and our solar feed we got a quarterly bill of $75. Despite not getting much for our solar feed we do export quite a lot at present despite people working from home three days a week.  The payback period now appears to be much shorter then we calculated! My guess is we will put in a battery when they stop all solar feeding.

I'm told taking a shower at night uses more electricity than anything else so the payback period might be shorter as well depending on quickly we adopt renewables.
