How to read your electric bill
Find the numbers that actually matter when comparing solar options.
Your kWh usage is the most important number — it's how much electricity your home uses each month.

Fixed charges, taxes, and fees add up and don't go away with solar — but the energy portion is what solar primarily offsets.
