I have solar panels so was thinking I would run lights on during the day (when the panels are working) during the colder months. My heater will obviously be on a thermostat and the room is well insulated made from 5" thick Kingspan inside of an outbuilding.
I will be running 3 x 600w HPS so would I be right in thinking the lights will take more electric than the oil heater?
TO GROW A PLANT YOU NEED TO THINK LIKE A PLANT
It's not gonna cost much per month no matter what electric deal you're on.... £30-50 will see you through it without having to worry about it and the return even if it's just one plant will cover the electric cost easily.
I recently worked out it costs me about £1.17 per gram to produce.... That including electirc, nutes, and even the cost of the seeds and also 25% of the cost of my gear... After 4 grows I've already paid for all the equipment and it works out about 68p per gram to produce... Just shows you how much cash some people are making off this!

I'm in the USA my bill went down 2 dollars the month I ran my 400 watt HPS..
I only have a poxy 250w HPS & adding up all my extra bits & bobs I come in under 350w in total.
My 250w light is on 21/3 & everything else is 24/0
The cost per month? All I know is that it is a damn sight cheaper than buying the crap on the streets!

It's an old EDF ecometer off ebay. Works with any supplier. Comes with a couple of special plugs and a wireless display. Cost £30.
Has wifi power on/off if I needed to power it down from next to my computer where I have the display showing power usage.
Have a 6 way extension plugged into each plug.
The only real usage after seeing how much power it uses is that with a quick glance I can see its all on using the power it normally does without having to look in the garage. If the bulb was to go for instance orca fuse I could see lower power output and then check.

My 400w grow cost me £15 per week. To be honest I don't think the leccy board care what you do so long as you pay your bill. The one caveat is the smart meter, logging the time down to the second. I'm not comfortable with them, but if you don't have one you're golden.
