As a household, we're at about 30kWh per day, exclusive of commute. The 40 mile round trip commute adds about 17kWh (110mpge electric car, 2500 ft elevation change).

I recently found a 100 watt phantom load (after the 30kWh measurement), and now the house idles at 500w. That includes fridges, water treatment + water heating, internet, LAN, NAS, etc).

That is very interesting! What was causing the 100w phantom load, and how did you find it?

The combination of a backup synology NAS and a (basically non functional) swann security camera DVR. Mostly the DVR.

I plan to put the synology on a timer.
