If solar was really a sound investment, it wouldn't need to be so heavily subsidized which is part of my argument against it as a viable power source.Here's just one pro-solar summary:The average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential utility customer is 10,972 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, or an average of 914 kWh per month.

However, linens and towels and any appliances that need to replaced like a toaster is charged to the owner.If I am getting 12% to 15% of the gross income then I will generally charge the owner for all of the consumable unless it is a strategic property or owner that I feel very eager to land.In my experience covering the cost of the consumables is worth it as the items that are high consumption like TP and paper towels are not expensive if bought in bulk from CostCo or amazon (although supply chain is spotty during COVID as we all know)One thing I have noticed is that guests will buy kitchen items like soy sauce, tabasco, salt, pepper, olive oil, etc and leave them there so in a way the kitchen items are often "self-replenishing" but of course that is not 100%.

you are assuming consumers, will reduce the consumption for some reason.

With non-alcoholic beer you’ll get the powerful effects of the hops without the liability of the alcohol…and with that, come to think of it, I imagine pre-paying your mortgage AND drinking non-alcoholic beer might just possibly be the best combination for sleep you’ll ever find hands down.

Everyone has different tastes in beer and wine, so we don't leave anything in the space (it might also be a liability to leave alcohol in the space).We also use a professional cleaner.

You generally get a minimum consumption with that type of billing, so it's apples to apples.
