We have three meters. One is the transformer that feeds our water well 3/10 mile away, another for the home and another for the barn. Both the barn and well meters rarely go over the minimum which as has been mentioned $35 a month. So, lets calculate. $31 X 12 months = $372 a year for that service. If one goes solar, batteries, inverter, low voltage lights, etc. Battery replacement every year or two. It could be a tad cheaper to go with solar up front, but I'd pay for the transformer and meter personally and be done with it. Inexpensive lighting fixtures much brighter than those available for solar and so on.</blockquote>
