It is not so bad Wixom. I have switched half the grow room to LED’s. I am running about 1500 watts for 15 hours per day and 800 watts for 9 hours per day. I could peak if everything is on at the same time..at about 4000 watts for a few minutes. Total daily usage is about 30 kw. My electrical rate is 11 cents per kw. So daily cost is about $3.30. Winter grow is raising my electric bill about $100 per month. I foresee some year in the future investing in solar panels. Right now, I think the cost to cost savings is even.
