(A) The customer that owns a 3-kW system exports 120 kWh monthly to the grid will have the following bills for both companies:

For ZG&E that collects $3 per kWh on a monthly basis, the monthly bill will be

[tex]120kWh\times\frac{\$3}{1kWh}=\$360[/tex]

For Ready Edison that collects $0.06 per kWh exported energy monthly, the computation of bill will be

[tex]\$20+(120kWh\times\frac{\$0.06}{1kWh})=\$27.2[/tex]

(B) The customer that owns a 5-kW system exports 300 kWh monthly to the grid will have the following bills for both companies:

For ZG&E that collects $3 per kWh on a monthly basis, the monthly bill will be

[tex]300kWh\times\frac{\$3}{1kWh}=\$900[/tex]

For Ready Edison that collects $0.06 per kWh exported energy monthly, the computation of bill will be

[tex]\$20+(300kWh\times\frac{\$0.06}{1kWh})=\$38[/tex]
