    the pool

    is now in operation, and the heatpump and filtration systems are running off the panels

    how cool is that

    we are currently consuming about 35kwh per day and of that 0.5kwh is coming from the grid

    you gotta be in it to win it


    Milan in "going green" mode.

    Is this an above-ground or in-the-ground pool?

        If you are dumping 34.5 KWh into the pool every day, it might be more efficient to skip the part where you turn sunlight into electricity and then electricity into heat. Just solar direct heating panels.

          Real contractors don't need heated pools.

            that's the thing though isn't it, we have all this capacity to create energy, and so it's not about being efficient, it's about using all of the energy

              Stranded energy ? Most bitcoin is mined with stranded energy - contrary to what most people think. You could switch over to mining BTC in the winter when its too cold to get your kit off and take a swim.
