The photo has nothing to do with the post. My laundry habits have changed over the years. About a decade ago, I washed between 10pm and 6am as our power was much cheaper between those hours. That changed when we moved here as we...

Our solar panels are working well and providing us with free power

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382147) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Dec 20

I wrote recently that we have had some free-standing solar panels installed down in the paddock. They had to be down there near the metre-box. The idea is that the panels will supply our household needs and any surplus will feed...

We had a busier-than-usual day yesterday. Now we’ve retired, life is very laid-back for us mostly. However, yesterday the solar panels were hooked up to the grid and are now working. We can log in on the phone or computer to see...

I'll be doing my laundry during daylight hours soon

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382147) • Rockingham, Australia 25 Aug 20

Because our power is so much cheaper between 9pm and 7am, I do all my laundry and ironing (if any) between those hours. I also run the dish-washer at night. As from Friday, we should have solar power. For technical reasons, the...

John Ortiz @autoassign (263) 8 Feb 19

There is this silent thought in my mind about energy sources and I always see solar power as a great, clean, and free source of energy. But why it is not being utilized as they do to oil? I really think using solar energy would...

Koalemos @Asylum (47893) • Manchester, England 9 Apr 16

A little over 3 years ago I had solar panels fitted to my roof at the rear. Since it is beneficial to the country as a whole for residents to install solar power and reduce the demand on production, the government pays a small...
