I should look for the info I ran into before.
garygid said:Here, in southern CA, the "base" rate (currently, fir the first 336 kWh of usage) is about $0.13 per kWh (I call one kWh an "edie", after Thomas Edison), but the base allottment is easily used, even with "little" use.
Tier 2 (the next 101 kWh) is about $0.15 per edie, but this quantity is also easily used.
Tier 3 (the next 235 edies) is about $0.28 per edie, and air-conditining (or EV charging) will easily use this up.
Tier 4 (beyond the Tier 3 usage) is apparently $0.30 per kWh - easy to reach with any significant EV charging.
Thus, 24 edie at $0.30 is just over $7, for the "full tank".
So, I put in a 7kW PV solar system.

Average Monthly Usage vs Price per kWh:
500 kWh = 10.4¢
1000 kWh = 9.60¢
2000 kWh = 9.20¢
