before i put panels in, ( we have central air and an in ground pool
with electric heat pump), i had an august electric bull in 2016 that was $565. that was more than the mortgage on the first condo we owned.

Yes, and that was several years ago. My wife is home full time with 3 kids, they like to keep the AC cranking and they like the pool water warm. Not sure why the house has to be a meat locker while the pool has to be a jacuzzi. But the solar panels helped quite a bit.
