Take that amount, times FOUR and you will be about at the cost to operate here.
Good point. That $87 figure on the yellow tag is based on mainland electricity prices.
That's why we are powering it with solar panels instead of HELCO.
In our case, HELCO power poles were "$30,000" away from our house building site. That's just about what we paid for our off grid solar panel system.
