How to Calculate Energy Use of Home Appliances in Watts ( KWh ) - Power Consumption of Electronics

How to Calculate Power Consumption in Watts

I've shared SOLAR PANELS PRICE IN INDIA , if you want to use or install Solar Plant in your home , you must know " How much power is consumed by your appliances or How much power you need to generate through solar panels " ,

Below , the Table for electronic appliances with its energy consumption in watts is given , you may calculate according to your home needs or usage .

Energy Use of Home Appliances :

APPLIANCE	WATTAGE	APPLIANCE	WATTAGE
clock radio	10	coffee maker	900-1200
clothes washer	350-500	clothes dryer	1800-5000
dishwasher	1200-2400	ceiling fan	65-175
hair dryer	1200-1875	clothes iron	1000-1800
microwave	750-1100	refrigerator	1725
computer: CPU	120	VCR/DVD	17-21/20-25
Computer: Monitor	150	19" color television	110
stereo	400	water bed	120-380

1000 W (watts) is 1KW (kilowatt).

Tube Lights consumes about 35 - 40 Watts ,

Calculate Avg KiloWatt per hour : KWh

You may also know your Energy Consumption without any calculation from this link : Calculate Energy Consumption

With this you might calculated the Power that you need to produce from your Solar Panels , so the numer of panels and the capacity of the solar cells will be based on the home energy need .

While purchasing the solar panel - they will ask this parameter , How much Kwh you want to generate from your solar cells , so that time it may be useful .

In the next post , i will be sharing " How to Get Solar Panels and Complete Kits for Cheap Price " , till then You may share this article with your friends via Facebook , Twitter & Google + .

Solar Panels Price in India - How to set up Solar Energy in your Home

Solar Panel Price

Since the need for Electricity is growing in enormous scale , the govt doesn't seems to plan for any New Power Units to compensate the demand . In fact the duration of Power Cut in the state is going to the worst level , people are more likely to search for " Alternative Source of Energy to power their basic needs / home appliances " , even though setting up a Solar Plant in Home is three time costlier than the power we get from the govt , there is more advantages installing the one at our home .

So before i write briefly about " How to set up Solar Plant in your home " , i would like to show up the price that cost the heart of the system .

The very first thing we need to have is " Solar Panels " , here is the pirce list which is currently being sold in Tamilnadu or other parts of India .

Price of Solar Panels in India :

The price shown below or obtained from the online retailers across our country , compared with many top sellers , we have given the solar panel price below ,


30 watts solar panel price – Rs.2400

50 watts solar panel price – Rs.3750

80 watts solar panel price – Rs.6000

100 watts solar panel price – Rs.7000

125 watts solar panel price – Rs.8750

These panels are comes with 5 years warranty. And Guaranteed Power Output of 90% for 10 Years and 80% for 25 Years.


The price of solar panels are dropped nearly 30% than it was listed on 2011 . Due to the large demand and fast growing , the solar industry is seeing its positive growth .
Currently solar panels are available between Rs.55-Rs.80 per watt with 25 years Guaranteed Power Output.

If you need to know more about the solar panels , how to get those panels for cheap price , what type of solar panels need to purchase ? , how solar plant works ? Just drop by your comments ..

Researchers Developed a new type of Escalator named Levytator to save Energy Usage -[Engineering]

Levytator - A new typw of escalator
While surfing over a good informatioin for StudentsCrunch ,i found this very interesting and it would be good to share with you.

We know Escalators but Levytator?
We'all know,or over a century, escalators have followed a fairly straight palt="levytator,escalator,energy saving"ath – with the exception of a few spiral and curved escalators found in few cities.Energy saving is a must to follow in our current growing techy world.To opt that , researcher at City University London has developed a new type of escalator called the Levytator.

How Levytator differs from traditional Escalator?Levytator is capable of following freeform curves.You know ,how it is developed ? this is achieved by replacing the traditional rectangular steps with curved modules that also allows the modules to be placed in a continuous loop. Not only does this open up the design possibilities for architects, it could also cut energy usage in half compared to conventional escalators. Gizmag
