Reduce your home’s electricity consumption

How to reduce your home’s electrical bill by 50% if you’re a household of 4 to 5 people?

• We at Solar Guru will advice to install a solar geyser or a retrofit solar geyser instead of running your electrical geyser from solar PV panels as this can drastically increase the overall cost for a solar panel system to meet the demand. By installing a solar geyser, it will save 33%, which is only 10% of a R250000.00 solar PV system’s value. 
• To reduce your electricity bills further or decreasing your cost on a home solar PV conversion system, we would recommend replacing your standard light bulbs with LED lights, Outdoor spotlights with power saving solar outdoor lights and also electrical stoves with gas stoves. Another recommendation would be to ensure the electrical appliances such as washing machines, fridges and tumble dryers are AAA rated or energy efficient to lower their wattages and electricity requirements drastically.
