Your bill, by contast, is higher than that, even after PV installation. Before PV, your use was about 5.5 times that of a typical customer. <br /><br />This, along with your willingness to try to reduce your consumption, is why I think you're a good candidate for an energy audit. I find it hard to believe that there aren't a lot more low-hanging fruit that you haven't picked yet.zzzzzznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3900438532658604202.post-31256562005251373172009-10-15T09:23:07.947-10:002009-10-15T09:23:07.947-10:00@ zzzzzz
