Example power bill

Use the below example power bill and information to help you in transferring the correct figures from your power bill into the calculator. 

Demand Price: To find your Demand Price, this can be read directly off the bill, highlighted in green in this example as 7.689 $/kVA/month. To convert to $/kVA/day, divide this by 30 = 0.2563 $/kVA/day. Put this number in the solar tool for "Power Demand Price [$/kW/day or $/kVA/day]"

Volume Price: To find your effective Volume Price, subtract the kVA cost (yellow) from the total bill (blue), then divide by total kWh (red)

In this example bill, this equals ($9,669.89 - $1,422) / 45570 kWh = 0.18 $/kWh. Put this number in the solar tool for "Power Volume Price [$/kWh]"
