I have solar panels on my roof and I have 2600 watts of HIDs, and 400 watts of LEDs running 12 hours +...my electric bill last month was $280.00...not to mention I have 3,200 sq. ft. of living space, in a 5 bedroom house...also not to mention, I have a 2,600 sq. ft. remodeled barn, it's a guest house now, but the garage is still my work shop, with a table saw, band saw, plainer, lathe, 80gal compressor, and some hand tools...Very nice I agree but how much energy cost yo u have with the latter. My electric bill only went up 30$ and um running over 3000 watts altogether 12 hrs a day .... and just want to say ,those are some big buds bro dayhhhmmm !!!!
So ya, my energy costs are way down
I have 2 flower tents, a 4x4 w/600 watt HPS and a 4x8 w/1000 watt HPS and a 600 watt HPS, and my veg closet (in the same room) has a 400 watt MH....
