Our Peak was close to 60KWh per day in winter. I expect the SHMBO was using the dryer almost all day every day. 
It's dropped to 47.5KWh as of last bill.
I was looking at what other people were getting from their solar systems to see if I could reduce this feed in. Apparently I'd need around 4.2Kw system, from my guess, just to reduce our bill by around 20Kwh...given what other people are saying they get from their systems.
I just purchased one of those Aldi power meters...It's on the dryer as we speak. I feel like I'm on a quest! |
Hair straighteners..............hmmm.... ...I've never considered it before but perhaps the shaving of ones head could save electricity!
We are north facing and do get good sunshine, our 1.7kw system has in the last few weeks been delivering almost 12kw on a good day, I think you would be in the zone for sure with a 4.2kw system.
