Six solar panels = 1kW power rating (about 850W in real life) |
Messy power distribution board with new 'Smart' meter at bottom and the white power monitor transmitter |
CFL fittings which replaced all of the hot, hungry halogen spotlights |
Ceiling fan for cooling |
Downstairs split AC system. We have three smaller units upstairs. Not exactly proud of them, but they are 5 star efficient and lifesaver in the heatwaves |
Sealed CFL fitting used in the bathroom |
Laptop to replace noisey and power hungry PC |
Note the 'Air Con' breaker is OFF to stop the standby power sucking up 25% of our daily electricity use |
The old electricity meter just before they replaced it with the Smart (digital) meter. With the solar panels installed it ran backwards when we exported electrcity. Great to watch! |
Automatic timer added to internal security lights |
Digital meter (indoors) to allow us to monitor power usage in real time. |
