Solar Power By: AcroElectric, Inc.: We Shed Light On Energy

Getting your total killowatt-hour usage for the last 12 months is as easy as calling your utility provider and asking for it. This information can be released to you over the phone, but cannot be released to third parties without written authorization. If your electrical utility company is PG&E, customer service can be reached at: 1 (800) 743-5000. You can also get this information by adding the usage from your last 12 electricity bills.

If this information is presented in a month-by-month format, we can be much more accurate in our calculations, but we can also assume a typical usage curve to your total usage and still provide realistic results.

We can help you get your usage information by hosting a conference call to your utility company. Please let us know how we can best serve you.
