I'm using over 2000 kWh per month and I'm curious where all that power is being consumed.
Car: 600 kWh per month.
Pool filter: ~300 kWh per month
Pool cleaner/other pumps: ~200 kWh per month
That leaves me drawing 900 kWh on other stuff, and that seems rather high.
SolarCity and PG&E both allow me to download data, so I downloaded both files, combined the PG&E consumption and SolarCity consumption, and made the following graphs:
The car obviously makes up the bulk of the energy usage at 1am. I have it set to draw a max of 30A, so that's why the power doesn't exceed 10 kW.
The pool filter runs 9am to 9pm. The pool cleaner now runs about 13:30 to 17:00, but during the winter it stopped at 15:00.
I'm surprised that air conditioning a big house doesn't seem to make June that much worse than other months.
Any thoughts?
thanks,
Derek
