Solar Hot Water Savings

Here's an update on our Solar Hot water heater's effect on our overall electric bill:

Our average daily KWh from July /08 back to Dec /06 was 23.1 KWh/day

Over 40 days from Sept 28 to Nov 6th we used an average of 15.05

That's a 34.8% reduction!!  I'm really happy with this result given the time of year with the sun being lower in the sky and the shorter days.

Comment Guidelines

  • We welcome comments but we ask that you observe our guidelines. We like readers who are prepared to stand by their comments by offering their 'real' first and last name - it adds validity to your comments. Stick to the topic and keep it clean. Personal attacks on individuals, bad language and unsubstantiated rumours have no place here. It's OK to be edgy, but if you're going to engage in name-calling and boorish behaviour take it elsewhere in cyberspace. And forget about posting under multiple IDs from the same IP address -- you'll get banned. Full Guidelines.
