As some of you are aware im in the process of going solar on my home,not fully solar but a 2,050 watt solar system to cut electric costs,after i bought my system i kept looking for more shit to cut my power consumption,one of the products i ran across is the power save 1200,its made by the same company where i bought my solar panel system.
Its a capacitor bank that hooks directly up to the circut breaker box,if your a diy kinda guy this would only take about 15 minutes to install,if your scared of working in the electrical panel to install 3 wires any handy person can do the install as it is as simpler as it comes.
From what i understand it saves power much along the same lines as how running 240 volts compared against 120 volts,the 240 volts saves power by using less amperage,this is how this system saves you cash.
Here is an example,the power flowing from the unit may be around 10 amps of power draw,this would mean that 10 amps are comming from the breaker panel,without the capacitor bank turned on this would be true,with the capacitor box in place & turned on the amperage will still be 10 amps going out from the system & into the home but the amperage going into the unit will only be 5 amps,that is a 50% drop in amperage use,this is where the money savings come in.
According to the info posted this leads to a savings of 10% to 25% each month,these savings can be huge when totaled up over a 12 month period,they even offer a full 6 month cash back offer if your electric consumption is not lowered,the unit comes with a 5 year gaurentee as well & its a UL listed & approved product.
At $299 shipped right to the door it seems like a no brainer to me,its a way to cut costs & more importantly a way to bring the power use down so LEO dont have a big reason to suspect us,here is a link to the product.
After checking the unit out scroll down to watch the demonstration video of the unit in action,there are power bill comparisons to look at along with satisfied customer testimonials.
