Calculating Power Consumption of ANYTHING with the Kill-A-Watt power monitor

  • Author: DigitalMind
  • Filed under: Solar Power and Off-Grid Living
  • Date: Apr 22,2008

The Kill-A-Watt power monitor gets plugged into your electrical socket, and is then plugged into the electrical appliance / gadget that you want to monitor. This is a great way of calculating how much power you need for your future renewable / solar energy system. Use it to calculate how many watts ALL of your electrical things take in a day, and then figure out how many batteries and solar panels you need ! It’s really handy for large things that aren’t specific about their power requirements.

Quote:
Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.
- Robertson Davies
