We installed solar right when COVID hit in March/April 2020 and have produced a total of 33.13 MWh in that time -- a pretty large output for our 15 panels!
But, if our utility is only interested in 'paying' us for 20%, we're leaving a significant amount of energy unaccounted (26.5 MWh!!).

This seems above board until you look at what our panels *actually* produced in the billing period and sent to Ameren, since we currently have net-metering: 663.9 kWh.
I understand feeding back power to the utility isn't 1:1; but we lost roughly 80% of what we produced (132 kWh / 663.9 kWh).

Fun with Solar Panels and Ameren, our shit monopoly/only-game-in-town utility here in our corner of Missouri.
This is our electric bill from peak-ass St. Louis summer. It shows what we consumed (1765 kWh), what Ameren paid us for (132 kWh), and our net usage (1633 kWh) used to calculate the bill.

I can’t begin to imagine how lazy and uninterested you must be to let ChatGPT plan a business summit (or vacation), two different - but very important - tasks!
