TIL electricity bills in London are a fuck ton cheaper than in the US even before the solar installation.

I doubt it’s the cost of electricity itself, but rather that the average European uses a lot less electricity (mainly due to more energy efficient appliances and no AC use).

The appliances are basically the same–no, American appliances don’t generally run on 120v–but I’ll bet average house size is the biggest thing.

Smaller houses probably help too

Atm it’s about roughly 35-40 cents per kWh. That’s much higher than most places in the US which Google is telling me is 16 cents per kWh.
