The Problem is people dont think because we live in a large house (38 building Sq) we have 16 tv in the house and most of the time my Satellite room is ON ALL the Time so that in one room that's 10 TV and one of them is a Sony 85Z8H that sucks 850 watts with local dimming on. The house is full of LED Globes also the house has a induction cook top and yet we have never had a bill since 2008 and because that we get at least (less now, because of the base rate per kilowatt has gone up) $100 a quarter back but use to get $250 back every quarter.
Arggggg I forgot to tell you ,,, I have Over Clocked 5KV PV System, I like the word Overclocked because all my Computers are over clocked and some days the i7 the 4 of them are sucking power.
Now People complain about water usage but I have the same to save on water but I dont over clock the rain I have ways and mean that when It rains I have the best catchment to keep the water and use it on cold water usage around the house plus I have a 3 Panel Solar Hot water system controlled by me whilst I'm watch 10 tv in my Lounge room and tell me what the 3 solar panels are doing.
All you have to do is Think, Think outside the Square because I had 5 Strokes and I can still think and design a house that is good for your wallet.
Water catchment
Water Tanks (PS there are within 1/4 of a incch OCD Kicking in.
My system that I can watch whilst I'm watching 10 TV's. All I have to do is turn my head and tell me the Capacity of water in my system and and how hot the water is in the hot water system.
Cant find my photo of PV System, but in front of me in the computer room I have the Sunny Beam that tells me how much Money that I've made and how I have save the Planet with lower Co2.
Now all this equals too just about lower or No Bills
