Yes we're on Edison. We get into tier 3 and tier 4 regularly which drives the price way up. The system I'm getting will hopefully eliminate Edison completely.
There are all ready six of my neighbors with it and it's becoming pretty common around here.

I should save at least a $100.00 a month when they get my system up and running and with the proposed rate increases it will only get better.
