I think you might agree with me that about half our electric bill is to heat water.
And the demand and cost of producing and delivering electric power to all their customers is getting harder and harder for Helco.
I propose that they start a program to finance a contractor installed solar water system and let folks pay a monthly payment included in their regular electric bill.
There is such a program for heat pumps in Oklahoma.
In other words, say the system payment would be $50 per month but you would use $50 less of electricity, which might even be a conservative figure.
I think it would be a win, win situation.
