Yep. The tv and vacuum probably use the most energy in the house. We use iPads and laptops instead of desktop pc and lights are all led down lights around the house.
Ours is about 300 but we have 2 gamers who play at night and 5 adults and no off peak hot water,
That's awesome. I think ours was about 450 last quarter. But we have to run fans 24/7 this time of year or everything gets mouldy.
I've come into this discussion late, but I have 15 panels with micro inverters for each panel. Our power supplier is also offering a discount for payment on time, so my bill for the last quarter was $60; and the previous quarter $17 - seriously!
Im pretty sure if it was just the wife and i ours would be in the negative
Wow, that's great!!! I was actually thinking his bills were $198 without solar!
The old analog meters were great, you could be running everything (a/c, pool pump etc) and that spinning disc thing on the meter would just be idle. Had that for 2 years, once the thieving bastard power company cottoned-on and made me get a digital meter the savings have never been as good for some reason.
Well yeah that was before without solar, then $104 with the solar rebate. But what also saves us money is we don’t have any halogen lights in the house - everything is LED which is about uses about %15 if what halogens use. Not heat lights in the bathroom either - they consume a lot of electricity.
When I had them installed the old meter would spin backwards during peak daytime, it was fun for a month till ergon installed the new meter
Can you slow down the disc using magnets?
You give it a try and tell us the result
I have the digital one.
Not sure about all that - I just want the new meter installed so I can start making mon-eh. I keep looking at this beautiful Queensland sunshine and cursing.
Not sure bro. Might've been worth cracking the plastic outer casing and superglue the disc so the prick doesn't spin lol
