Wrenches,
I'm always trying to update my reference for KWhrs/day for various
loads, especially as time marches on folks are of course wishing to power the
latest gizmo with an off-grid system. I can't seem to find very current info.
The days of going into search are certainly long gone with the advent of
answering/cordless phones, satellite dishes, routers, security systems,
etc...creating a heck-of-a "phantom load" 24/7.
Specifically, this time I'm hoping some of you have first-hand numbers
on KWhrs/day for a propane fired hot tub (still has brains of some kind,
ignition, pump(s), satellite dish for internet/TV and I'm not counting
on-demand water heater as much of a load due to its intermittent use unless
others have seen otherwise. I've never taken the "kit" approach, hoping a
cookie cutter sized system will fit a need, instead trying to really nail the
consumption-production dance leaving room for expansion.
If there is a favorite website anyone has for more current numbers
(KWhrs/day or even just watts) on current household appliances, I would
appreciate it.
Thx,
Bill Battagin
