When your ’lectric bill is giving you a lickin’…
The problem lineWhen the power bill starts pecking
Solar Electric Bill
This is the serious line inside the joke: when your ’lectric bill is giving you a lickin’, the roof, the sun, and battery technology deserve a hard look.
The customer pain
High electric bills are the real Solar Chicken villain.
SolarChicken.com uses humor to get attention, but the problem is practical: electricity is expensive, time-of-use rates punish the wrong hours, and many customers feel like the bill keeps getting harder to control.
In expensive utility territory, solar plus battery backup can move from “nice idea” to serious financial defense. The goal is to reduce purchased energy, shift usage away from expensive periods, and keep critical loads protected.
- Use the roof to produce useful daytime power.
- Use batteries to store energy for later.
- Protect critical loads when the grid fails.
- Review usage patterns before designing the system.
- Match the system to the customer’s real electric bill.

What to review
The bill tells the story.
Before designing solar, the electric bill needs to be understood. Usage, rate schedule, time-of-use periods, demand charges, seasonal loads, and backup needs all affect the right system.
Usage
Monthly kWh history shows how much electricity the property uses and when seasonal peaks appear.
Rate Schedule
The rate plan matters. Time-of-use pricing can make evening power much more expensive.
Critical Loads
Refrigeration, lights, internet, pumps, medical equipment, and business systems may need backup.
Battery Strategy
Batteries help shift solar energy into high-cost hours and provide protection during outages.
SCE-style sticker shock
Some utility territory is brutally expensive.
In Southern California Edison territory and other expensive utility areas, the customer may see painful time-of-use pricing, high monthly charges, and rate structures that make energy planning feel like a fight.
Solar Chicken’s message is simple: do not just complain about the bill. Use the sun, use the roof, use modern battery technology, and review whether the property can make and store more of its own power.
- High rates make wasted roof space more painful.
- Peak pricing makes battery timing more valuable.
- Blackouts make backup power more than a luxury.
- Good design starts with the real bill, not a guess.
Solar plus batteries
Panels alone are not always enough anymore.
Solar panels can reduce daytime energy purchases. Batteries can help use more of that solar power when it matters most, especially during expensive evening hours or outages.
The right answer depends on the customer’s loads, roof space, backup goals, rate schedule, budget, and long-term plans. Solar Chicken opens the conversation. ABC Solar designs the system.
- Solar production reduces purchased electricity.
- Storage improves timing and resilience.
- Backup circuits protect selected loads.
- System sizing should be based on real usage.
Solar Chicken test
If the bill makes you mad every month, the property deserves a solar and battery review.

Electric bill action plan
What ABC Solar needs to know.
A useful solar review starts with facts. The better the bill information, the better the system conversation.
Recent Bills
A year of electric bills helps reveal usage patterns, seasonal changes, and the existing rate schedule.
Roof Condition
A newer, ready roof makes solar easier. A worn roof may need attention before panels go on.
Backup Goals
Decide what must keep running: refrigerator, internet, lights, garage, pumps, medical equipment, or business loads.
Future Loads
EV charging, heat pumps, induction cooking, additions, and business growth may change the right system size.
Panel Space
Roof area, orientation, shade, setbacks, and equipment placement all affect production.
Utility Rules
Interconnection, rate structures, export values, and program rules affect the economics and design.
Keep the anthem attached
The electric bill page is the song’s main proof.
The Solar Chicken Song works because the customer pain is real. This page should always keep the lyric visible: the bill is giving you a lickin’, and the next move is to call.
When you find your sun is steady,
When your roof is new and ready,
When your ’lectric bill is giving you a lickin’…
