Bonus: tons of storage, including attic, and garage attic, and more!

Solar:
It supplies enough to cut the bill down by 30 to 60% depending on the month and the amount of cloud cover. Summer months are the best w/longer days.

To break it down further- our panels produced 996 kwh in June. This is what that means and keep in mind, the house is 5,600 sq ft:

(The average U.S. home uses about 886-1,000 kWh/month, depending on location.)
---
Relatable Everyday Examples:

Here's what 996 kWh can power:

33 full loads of laundry in an electric washer and dryer

2,000 hours of TV time on a modern LED flat screen

27,600 hours of LED lightbulb use (using a 36-watt bulb)

3,800 miles of driving in a Tesla Model 3 (using ~260 Wh/mile)

83 full charges of a Tesla Model Y Long Range

Real-World Household Context: "That's about what a 2,000 sq ft home would use running the AC, fridge, lights, TV, and some laundry for the whole month  all covered by solar."
