I should probably look into this, I work from home so there's stuff on all day and if it meant significant savings on my daytime usage it could be worth it.

What kind of monitor is this?I was doing a little bit of energy use monitoring - the squiggly flatline is when the monitor was looking at the standby power consumption of a tv, ps5, Xbox series x, virgin media box, a Nintendo switch and an onkyo amp.
Can you spot where I moved it over to the air fryer?

It’s a Tuya compatible wifi socket that does power monitoring. I have it hooked up with Home Assistant for fancy dashboarding.What kind of monitor is this?
I’d have to look at it over a longer time. Right now I’m just trying to get a handle on what’s using the most power regardless of duration if you know what I mean.So are those standby's collectively costing more or less than air fryer dinner?

If you don't get the panels on the roof, where do they go?solar panels (6-7), inverter, labour. It would involve diverting excess power to the water heater. I'm opting for this over getting dedicated panels for water (roof not big enough). I'm on the fence about a battery. Not sure I can justify it. That would be another 3k or so.
@egg_ maybe, but it was based on the energy generated by the proposed setup versus my energy usage averaged over 2020 (when I'd have been at home more than usual due to the lockdowns, etc).
Yeah but it’s heavy and I don’t want to have to turn it over.They say the wattage on them
FYI generic electric hobs are 1700w for a ring or 2200w for the oven.
My old inneficient work PC (steady 165w, mostly cooling it apparently)
New work laptop (65w)
Think the car chargers are gonna be 3000w / 3kw if you have a home one - like running a massive oven all night so that'll cost you.
If it makes heat it costs more and the ones that make the heat are hardest to not use. Cookers, showers, dryers, hair tongs, hair dryers.
Technically everything that is on standby is a heater too though, just not on purpose.
I did a wee study in this place last year.
The instant on thing here is a big no-no, its small but it's still 250 times the consumption of generic standby.

our electricity use is a bit on the high side i think - about 9,600kWh a year

hmmm

now i'm googling "what can I do with a 24v battery"

I just pulled the usage from the last couple of years' bills
no but my car isIt seems like loads but is your heat off the electric?
no but my car is
