The electricity prices listed in the article are quite high, the US average is about half of that.

This is a great point. Avg cost for me last year was less than half, around 11c/kWh

Though, https://www.eia.gov/electricity/state/ makes me wonder how you are getting 25c/kWh prices, as author estimates. Maybe higher price tiers due to usage.

The reason is that residential customers pay higher rates than average: https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.ph...

I pay around ¢10/kWh (including all my connection fees plus the stupid surcharge from last years Texas debacle).

Places in CA (San Diego, where I live) are over $0.50/kWh. Solar makes so much sense in the SoCal climate + energy cost context.
