Holy Guacamole!
My solar PV system has been running for a while. I decided to wait until I received the next PNM bill before posting details. Here’s the relevant section of my PNM electrical bill from the end of April (standard electrical service):

And here’s the same for the June bill (electrical service with the solar PV running):

That’s $110 credit in June vs. paying $76 in April. If my math is correct that’s a difference of $200, because I’ve been still using the same amount of electricity in the month of June. Wow!
I’ll post some photos and some more details in a while.
