If you have solar panels I found that looking at how the 2 red lights on solar meter are flashing is a good indicator of how fast electricity is being produced. When it is flashing, don’t put lots of appliances on all at once, use extra appliances one at a time if you can. Then you won’t use too much more than its producing.

A Cheltenham couple today scooped the top prize for Britain’s greenest home following a nation-wide search. Glenn and Frances Simpson beat thousands of other homes across the UK to the first prize of £3,000 with a range of eco-friendly and money saving initiatives including: Building an eco-friendly extension insulated with sheep’s wool, which ensures their combined gas and electricity bill never exceeds £400 annually, Growing vegetables in their garden year round, Compost bins to minimise waste, A complete water harvesting system
My savings are really pleasing. As it happens, I received my electricity bill today along with a letter asking if I would like to reduce my monthly payments. I had already reduced them from £75 to £35 a month and even after paying my account for the last period, I am now credit to the sum of £230! For the corresponding period 2010 I was charged for using 1652 units of electricity. This year for the same period, my usage has been reduced to 694 units, representing a saving of nearly 1000 units!
