We run our office computers on solar electric, using low-power Portwell motherboards and survived a 13-day mains failure in a sunny period in December 2018. I added two solar panels, and am trying to run my medium size fridge on a sem-cloudy day today, following messenger power company failures. Gaborone, Botswana

I want to total Power Req On 9 celling fan / 51 Desktop / 51 Lights / 2 ton Ac 2nos how man re Wattas

On 17th January 2019

Now there are 12 volt appliances like 12v fridge, 12v freezer, 12v kettle, 12v hot plate stove, 12v dry iron with spray, 12v plasma TV (rechargeable), 12v sound systems (rechargeable), 12v hair dryer, 12v hair straightener, 12v led bulbs and security lights etc which avoids the use of an inverter. The inverter requires it's own power to run before it steps up power to run 220v appliances and has limitations depending how many watts the inverter is.

Do Ecg officers delete previous readings from the meter before reading current one or they continue from the previous month and subtract the current one from it? I want to know please.

Thankyou for this Site it has been a help.
In the last year I upgraded my appliances etc cut down standbys and total power.Just 2years ago switched all house lights from 24w Energy saver to 8/10 w LED which cut the yearly power 7818 KWH to 6943KWH just on changing over to LED Lights. I have used the Clever watts meter to determine individual useage of appliances
Then upgraded appliances and in last year from 6943KWH to an unbelievable 2863KWH.There have been improvements in Appliances over the year.
The Major was changing the Immersion water heater (3300Watts) to an inverter water heater (1250Watts) Taking the waterheating Useage from 3509 to 1287 (saving2222KWH) for the year.An older LCD38 in TV (Useage 236w and Standby 17w) to LG 49in TV HD(Not UHD) 38w and standby 1W at average 5hrs a day from 548KWH to 78KWH per year saving 1470KWH, An old 1990s fridge to samsung INVERTER FRIDGE similar size From 1600w per day to 492w (That is from 584KWH to 182KWH per year saving . Standby for microwave 4w. I went through and put items on standbys on two surge boards , ones that could be turned off and ones that needed to stay all the time eg Broadband Fibre.All these appliances have a pay back time of about 10years each before the power savings equal the cost.There are still opportunies for further reductions as we have an old air conditioner efficiency of 2.70 whereas newest ones can have a COF near 5.Even the inverter water heater further savings are being made by having a timer on it saving 17hours a day of the 19w standby power.At present we are saving 4955 KWH per year before LED and without a solar panel in sight.There were other small improvement, I had a fan heater for a small room in winter 2400W now use a $10 400W Halogen heater instead.Appliances have changed since the data collected in 2008

Computers can use much more power. My personal PC has drawn up to 600W from the wall, and I know some who have seen it go to 1000W .
By Will on 19th December 2017

Watts are watts . 100 watts used for 1 hour is 100 watt hour or 0.1 kilowatt hours. For 1 day...multiply by 24 hours...
Equals 2.4 kilowatts.

The unit is not watt per hour, its watt hour where 1kwh is one unit as mesured by the electricity distribution companies, so it can be used to calculate how much expenditure an appliance will cause.
