I have 6 lights and the most I Payed last month was .44 a kwh from PG&E..and people wonder why medicine is so expensive
how do i calculate the cost for a 15k system @ 5 cents per kilowatt hr?
my bill would drop from $1,800 a month down to $313 if i live by you.
how the hell are all these people worried about electric bills when they only paying a $300 dollar bill for a 10,000w grow. I wish I didnt post this thread because I wish i never knew how ripped off i was getting
I'm REALLY baked but I think I can do this... If you run 15KW per hour (15KWH) for 12 hours per day that's a total of 180KWH each day. Multiply 180 x 30 days in an average month and you get 5400KWH. Multiply 5400KWH x a nickel = $2700 per month for 12/12 and I think $4050 for 18/6.
Does that sound right everyone? :whew
Your rates are crazy out there boxmuch. I think most people aren't as concerned about how much their power costs as they are about raising a red flag with the amount of KWH used in comparison with past bills. I have a small closet setup and use around 2KWH for 12/12 and a lot less during my veg hours and my bill is around 30% more than it used to be each month. My grow adds about $90 to the bill at the 9 cents per KWH around here. I doubt if it's noticeable but it still makes me a bit paranoid...
Peace!:scared0016:
thanks for the answer...but if you take 5400kwh x .05 it comes out to $270 not $2700..and $405 dollar instead of $4050. I was having a hard time figuring out how to figure to KW's..
Yeah it's easier than it sounds as far as KWH goes... it's simply how many 1000 watts are used in a given hour.
I thought that my total sounded pretty high but no half as high as I was! lol... Those damn decimal points and the lack of synapses firing can really be a bitch sometimes...

I have a portable nuclear fusion reactor buried and it produces power for me, but if I wanna go on grid its usually 7 cents. The one thing you guys who pay an arm and a leg have to realize is that your actually buying power from up in BC we got you guys by the balls in alot of ways :devil
