What I do know here is that the power meter on the output of my 1.5kV office UPS constantly sits at about 475W.
2 Xeon Servers & My i7 Desktop with 2 screens.
So that accounts for about 11.5kW hours per day.
That is covered by solar between about 8:30 & 3:00 ATM, so overall it's probably a bit above 8kWh of the daily average.
I decided to move our Water/Gel bed to a solar circuit a weekend ago, Sunday project to add a circuit.
It's a dual balder thing with two separate 100W heaters, sits on a Styrofoam base, with like a hollowed out foam mattress around the sides.
Figuring I could also cover it's daytime consumption with solar excess.
Wasn't a very popular move though, as when I reconnected everything I missed out plugging Mrs C's side back in.
No comment after a chilly Sunday night, but come Tuesday morning there was mention of being a bit chilly last night. SO decided to turn her side up a bit & discovered it not plugged in.
About 24 hour recovery time & it was back up to temp....
Heating here is wood & recovered heat from the ceiling space.
But have also discovered I can run the air con in my office for about 4 hours a day without exceeding my solar capacity.
