The average house consumes about 500 kw -hr per month. In high cost areas, electricity is about 10 cents per kw-hr. So the consumer spends about $50/month or about $600/year on electricity.

Uh-uh. There are 4.15 x 168 = 697.2 hours in a month. Your number translates to an average daily usage of .717 kW-hr. That's just a few light bulbs left on, a refrigerator, and a computer. What about hot water heating and air conditioning, to say nothing of washers, electric dryers, stoves, and house heat, etc.?

I'll bet the average is closer to 12-1500 kW-hr per month. I will inquire and post.
