How much is your energy bill?

I have no idea. I'm 16, mother pays the bills and no matter how hard I try asking her, she refuses to answer in order to not make me switch the lights off wherever they're not needed or otherwise try to cut the electricity costs.

Complete opposite. She only shows me if it's really high ($300) and tells me to turn off everything even if you're walking away for 5 minutes.

Quite odd that my mother does not want to save any money on saving electricity, as she's been unemployed for almost 2 years and were quite poor (father is dead and no-one in our family has a job)...

 

I also happen to have the most energy spending PC (sister and mother have laptops, sister runs it literally 24/7, fan yells like hell at nights), but still my PC spends less electricity than their TVs (I have the only flatscreen TV in the house, others have those bulky and not energy efficient oldies, plus they have those on all day. I only switch my devices on if I'm using them)

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.

A bit off-topic: are there any cheap and reliable solar panels? And could those be used without many issues when living in a rented terraced house?

In the hot summer months it spikes up to $450-ish per month.  Air Conditioning is such an expensive necessary evil.  I waited too long for the solar panel trend because a lot of the grants and tax credits that the state and federal governments gave out aren't available anymore.  My ultimate goal is solar power (I have a huge back yard for a small array) and geothermal heating/cooling to supplement it.  It's going to be an expensive endeavor x.x

My family lives in China. Air condition in the summer is basically a must, so it peaks at 1100RMB (200 ish $) during summer. In winter, the AC is used for secondary heating, so it is around 600RMB then. During the rest of the year, it is 400-500RMB.

 

And those prices are for two months always...

At home it's about 50e/month. In my college apartment where we have 2 Pc's running 600w PSUs, an AC that ocasionally heats/cools the room, a 50l water heater, fridge and oven it's about 15e/month.  :)

It was a while ago, so technology and pricing has changed, but I think it was about $16000 for the array for everything solar, the hot water was probably best price:outcome, it was about $1900 and literally halved the bill (was first installed before the array)

Do you have like a link to a site where I could get addition info about this setup you got??

My parents are getting a new house built and I live in India so its pretty sunny all year round.. Maybe i can get such a setup too..

Well...

 

I'm not sure how much electricity is here /month, but est 0.80 - 1.20kr it should be between:

 

$20 - 40 just for my computer ~$30 - 50 for my entire room. Though... I don't pay for the electricity of this house, that'd be my dad.

That's with computers up and running 24/7.
