We have about 40kwh panels and 40kwh battery. We use roughly 1mwh per month, with our biggest consumption between our EV, kitchen appliances, and clothes dryer.
That's a very nice (big) installation. 😀☀️
But not as much consumption as I expected from the cost you stated. We use about 500 kWh without the EV, and 650 kWh since we bought the EV, we don̈́t drive so much, our battery can generally last a week on a charge.
Electricity must be pretty expensive where you live. Seems like you paid 3 times as much for twice the consumption as we do.
