House Versus Rig kWh
My 2-month bill just arrived. It cost me a whole $9.93 U.S. Meaning around $5.00 month.
The daily average was 2.34 kWh day. Divided by 13 volts = 180 amp hours daily.
Not meaning this to become a ------- contest I am curious how this compares to larger solar system off-grid rigs? I used neither a space heater or A/C. Gas stove, compressor 16 CF refrigerator, and 1,100 watt microwave, toaster, crock pot, griddle, and heating coil to boil water even for shower.
All the lights in the house are LED and they are not low wattage. In my work area in part of the dining room, there are LED lights to the tune of 200 plus watts. Weak eyes. A 30 watt LED reading light.
Television hurled out the back window 30+ years ago. I read.
Support charging a 31 Lifeline using a 55 WFCO.
Traded electric blanket for a Level 3 Thinsulate comforter.
Housekeeper does the laundry at her place.
Where do you fit in. Weekenders may not have the same habits as boondockers.
And of course information is valid only if it is measured with an amp hour meter. Amp hour numbers are acceptable.
Thanks. BTW the basic cost 150 kWh here is 5.9 cents (US) per kWh.
