+Last month our solar panels generated more energy than we consumed for
+the entire month. Here's the Enphase dashboard for April:
+
+{{< pe-figure "dashboard" >}}
+&nbsp;
+
+Here is our latest power bill:
+
+{{< pe-figure "bill" >}}
+
+(Note: The date ranges in the two pictures overlap by 21 days but don't
+match precisely, because our billing period is not quite monthly).
+
+The highlighted sections of the bill above show the following:
+
+* The total was $7.14
+* We have an 18 kWh credit (e.g. [net metering][])
+
+The kicker? [Our car is electric][ev]; the bill includes the electricity
+for the house *and* the car.
+
+[net metering]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_metering
+ "Monthly rollover of kWh credits."
