Default I’d go half of that

With no electric water heater, stove or dryer.

Using all low consumption light bulbs (LED eventually) the big drain would be AC’s and pumps. I think I could live on 4500 watts of solar. It would be great to have monthly run rate of near zero for electricty. And not worry how high it will go.

Florida 10.19 cents per killowatt
EDNORTE 701-1000 kWh 8.57pesos ~ .25 USD per killowatt

So payback would be in the 4-5 year time, correct?


WINDOW/ROOM AIR CONDITIONER
12,000 BTU=1 TON 2,000/TON 2.0 kWh PER HOUR


NEW CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING
1,500 SQ. FT. HOME 3,000 3.0 kWh PER HOUR
2,500 SQ. FT. HOME 5,000 5.0 kWh PER HOUR
