[quote][i]Originally posted by drunkenfool[/i] If it were my house then I would buy them myself but it's my mum's house and she thinks she may move from here in the next 5-10 years when she retires so is more interested in the free electricity at the moment. I've tried to explain to her that the returns from the panels are greater than the interest rates of a mortgage so it would almost be like a financial investment, but she just wants the free ones lol I'll have to ask her of our exact usage but I wouldn't be surprised if we used 20kwh a day. The koi pond outside has two pumps at around 100w each, the marine tank in the garage has a 300w heater that is used quite often due to being in the garage, the one in the house isn't quite as bad but if it's below 24degrees then theres 600w of heat going into that, and above 26degrees there 750w of cooling going in, as well as about 150w of pumps on 24/7 and 180w of LED lights on for about 10 hours a day. I also work from home so have a computer on for maybe 18 hours a day, then TV, music etc. etc. Even with LED light bulbs in the whole of downstairs, we still use loooads of energy :( [Edited on 29-09-2010 by drunkenfool] [/quote]
