[quote=CA renter]Yes, I think those of us who are funding everything at SDG&E are moving to solar in a rather spectacular fashion. As you’ve said, going solar for those of us who are regular Tier 4 users is one of the easiest decisions we’ll ever have to make in life. SDG&E is going to try to make up for these losses by dropping the 4-tiered system and charging everyone a higher price for the lowest tier and for daytime usage when everyone is using their air conditioners. The solar industry has been trying to fight it, but it looks like SDG&E has won on this front.

We are very happy with room temp around high 70’s, that might explain the difference. Downstairs almost never reach 80. On a hot day upstairs can hit 84 by later afternoon, then AC comes on to bring temp down to 79. That likely explains why we rarely turn on the AC. If we have the AC on to bring room temp down to 71, I can definitely see the bill double.
