Our temperatures are mild on the central California coast but my PG&E bill was never as low as yours. I started leasing Solar in January which costs me $148 per month, which is close to my lowest ever PG&E bill.
We’ve had really bad weather but in March (with solar) my PG&E bill was only $26, so combined it costs me $174. For April I’ll have a PG&E credit which may continue until next January. So far I’m loving my solar powered house and may purchase a hot tub and sauna as my solar will produce more than I’ve ever used. Now I’m thinking battery backup.
Well in the great PNW solar is not an option; now if there was a wsy to convert rain and overcast into electricity ...
