Energy bill must be in terms of Energy unit (KWH) only. Energy is KW (power) utilized over a period of time. The unit of energy is Kilowatthour (KWH)
Unit of power is Kilowatt (KW)
KW is instantaneous power being utilized. KW (power) over a time period is Energy (KW H)
Energy takes in 'how long' you use the power for.
The unit of energy in an electricity bill is a kilowatt-hour, also known as a Unit. To calculate the energy in units, multiply the power in kilowatts by the time in hours.
Electric energy is measure in Units which are kilowatt-hours. Your electricity meter records the usage in Units over the billing period. The meter measures the true power and not the volts times the amps.
Around 50-75% of energy can be saved if one uses CFL. As a matter of fact, in India, 20% of total energy consumed is for lighting purpose. i.e If the energy consumed per month is 500 units, you can roughly tell, 100 units has been consukmed for lighting purpose. Now if CFL and TFL is used, the 100 units consumed otherwise can be reduced to 50 units or even less. therefore, the effective electricity bill would be of 450 units instead of 500 units.
Solar power would lower an energy bill exponentially because instead of using electricity, it would use the sun's rays to power household items. Not only does it save you money, but it also saves the earth.
A bill or invoice. Often called something like a "power bill", though the customer pays for energy, not for power.
A power of 10 kW or 10,000 watts means that 10,000 Joules of energy is converted every second. In 1 hour the energy expended is 10 kilowatt-hours which would appear as 10 units on the electricity bill.
I Want To Pay My Nevada power bill
Power factor cannot exceed unity!
depending on the size of the system you could be selling power back instead of paying a bill. I lived on a farm that had solar and wind generators creating enough that the owner got a check from the county each month. That may not be typical but it's not unheard of either.

How long you leave the power switched on, and the amount of power (ie rate of use of energy) delivered when it is swirched on.
No. Your energy meter monitors the supply voltage and the in-phase component of the load current, so improving your power factor will have no effect on your energy consumption and, therefore, your electricity bill.
