Most home energy is used to heat and cool it. We have a mini split heat pump (5 inside units, 1 outside), and with our current insulation and windows, we have to use the natural gas fired steam boiler when/if it gets below 15F for more than a day or two. To cool, we manage the windows, and use ceiling fans as much as we can, and then use the heat pump to cool when we have to.
You should look into induction stoves - they are just as controllable as a gas stove, and are much more efficient. The only caveat is you need to use steel / iron pans with the induction coils. The upside is the top of the stove stays cool - you can put a piece of paper between the stove and the pan.
As I understand it, ultrasonic clothes dryers would be very energy efficient - and they don't heat the clothes, so the clothes last longer.
When you say we are getting 250 watts / panel / day - that doesn't mean anything. Do you mean 250W<b>h</b> / panel / day? Which is not correct - we are getting 1.28kWh / panel / day. (39.77 / 31)
