these numbers don't match up. 1,134,045 kWh per year for 350 homes is only 3240 kWh per year per home. Last month my bill was for 1120kWh. Grated my A/C was on a lot, but 800kWh a month is the norm for an average size home. That's 9600kWh per year. Not 3240.

@ Andy: 3240 seems be quite realistic. In Europe, Switzerland especially the average energy consumption is far lower than is the US. For one, most Swiss / EU homes don't have A/C (it doesn't get that hot). Also 2/3 of all people in Switzerland live in a flat and isolation is generally much better. Try thinking global, in China you could probably power 1000 homes with that power.
