I am amazed at how much power gets used when nothing is running. We have made really good progress on reducing big items power usage but the standby items are using about 500 watts. It will be a while before I start tracking it all down but I was wondering if others know how much power they are useing in standby.

That is enough power to charge my car one time a day.
12 kwh standby
24 kwh to charge car twice everyday.
36 kwh a day before we start using power
