Pocster Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 So far this month zero electricity bill and that includes charging the EV. I try to be intelligent ( did say try ! ) rather than frugal on use . EV charging for example ; with a bit of planning has cost zero to charge . Obviously having 23kw of storage helps somewhat . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Well done! But only people flying around in private jets are allowed to blow their own “green”trumpets. *eagerly awaiting the innuendos and filthy minded comments 😉* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our case roughly 14kWh. If I see that, during the working day our SunAmp is fully charged, (I try to arrange things so that it doesn't ) then I have a long hot shower. How mean can you get? Not because I'm dirty, but because I begrudge producing power thats consumed by others. And that , as they are charged for it, I'm adding to the DNO's income. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand not using any imported energy, and I can assume that consumption is 10 kWh, but is that a day, a week, or for the whole month.

jayc89 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 £125 (426 kWh) in electric for us. No idea how, really need to start tracking down where the usage is coming from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That averages out to a constant 650W. Pretty similar to ours - which is made up from averages of 150W for the fridge and two freezers, 250W from everything on constantly like Routers, gateways, smart devices etc. and another 250W from highly intermittent but large loads like oven, kettle etc. The most dynamic loads are the fridge/freezers so I have those plugged into an energy monitoring system to log their average daily consumption to identify them separately from a whole-house energy monitor using a Current Transformer. Then the 250W base load becomes most apparent at night, and the rest (big loads) are simply what's left. Whittling down the base load is the biggest challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry - I must have been commenting on what you actually wrote. 🙃😁 By the time I have Rishi's Dishy £550 plus the FIT, I may make a profit his year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
