    Hmm I think you’re crossing into home datacenter territory.

    I’ve got some rookie numbers to pump up LMAO

  Why does the electricity company know your flat size and your heating source?

  • cm0002@lemy.lol ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    In most places in the US, basic home specs are public record and/or just floating around since the last time it was publicly listed for sale

      I bet you can look at the building permit and learn this stuff

      Wow. That idea is definitely 2American4me…
      (I also just posted it in the respective community, as it fits perfectly there…)

    Besides what others have said, they’d know the capabilities of the address when it’s built, at a minimum, as they’re responsible for providing the infrastructure to deliver power to it.

    I really don’t get why you’re asking this - they need to know what a facility is capable of to manage and plan power delivery.

      they need to know what a facility is capable of to manage and plan power delivery.

      But that’s a single value measured in Ampere.

      The size in square feet is something completely irrelevant to know.

      And even the Ampere value is only relevant for the local provider that connects to your house, not for the company selling you the actual electric energy.

      The company selling me electricity knows nothing about me but my electric meter ID.

    It seems very common in the US to get these mailed by the supplier. This one seems to be a blueprint for National Grid, and is similar to a post from this house light show co. on Facebook

    I think they forgot to mention the huge tomato farm they have in their basement. Tons of lights and special ventilation setup. Tastes much better than what you can get at the grocery store of course.

      I call it the Tomacco. Not responsible if you feed it to animals

    Like 3 or 4 1u/2u servers equipped with a couple GPUs, plus a tape library lol

      It’s not obvious before you do the math but a 500 watt homelab is basically a large air conditioner. The AC is just on ⅓ of the time ½ of the year.

  Uff…that’s close to my yearly electricity bill (including a home server/NAS). Energy consumption in the US is crazy.

  Did you try to size your solar panels to your usage or are you doing small scale solar?

  I’ve been thinking about solar, but the prices are pretty harsh, especially without the federal credits.

  • cm0002@lemy.lol ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I don’t think I can get the amount of panels needed, as-is my system can produce about 700-800 watts in a good sunny month (which the month they used wasn’t really, it was Feb and it produced about 600-650)

    But my electric company has some dumbass arbitrary limit on the amount panels the professional installers have to follow and I’m pretty sure I’m close to it

    I’ve been meaning to check out this “unofficial” DIY plugin solar stuff, but haven’t gotten to it yet lol

  When the server alone is idling at 200W

  • hodgepodgin@lemmy.zip ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I felt really bad about having a PC on all the time that consumed like 30-50 watts. Never mind I guess.

  • xthexder@l.sw0.com ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Probably closer to 800W based on OP’s usage.
