Has anyone use solar panels to help power their lights? They are pretty expensive but they would pay for themselves after a while.

Default great post....but go with leds.....:) less worry

first....awesome post. When i first started my indoor growing i looked in google for a wattage to $ conversion chart. It worked great and they gave you the monthly price if you ran the particular wattage you intended to use. My 1,500 watt equiv led set up costs me.......$24 a month. heehee. FYI i am a LED guru and love mine. ive tested everything out there and found my lights.
Getting ready to germ trainwreck and bc godbud next week. Cant wait........

That is incorrect the "600" is Kilowatt Hours used in One 30 day month.

how much would a single 400w HPS light cost to run a month? Would there be a noticeable change in the power bill in a large household?

It really depends on your baseline allotment and how much of that allotment is being used already. That being said your most effective method of keeping the impact down is by looking into saving energy elsewhere in your home. This can be easy in a large home, and much harder in a small one.

With a 400W light your looking at about a 150Kwh to 250Kwh additional per month so the first thing to do is see how close to your maximum Kwh allotment you are. If you can handle the extra usage in your allotment your all good, if not then you could be looking at going into the triple bonus round and getting a really off skew bill. this can be avoided by doing as suggested and save elsewhere.
