Always been a bit of a Greenie at heart, since small - & a visit to a fellow-forumite this week inspired and re-kindled my priority in going this route.
My bachelor-flat doesn't have any amperage intensive devices in the first place (the biggest being the kettle) so this project is to be my 'prodigal son' project for the next few (6-8) months ahead. >>
Step 1: Induction cooker plate. (I steam 95% of my food being fresh veggies, fish & rice.)
Step 2: Invertor and battery packs. (to power PC, hi-fi, & indoor bike trainer.)
Step 3: Solar geyser.
Step 4: Find suitable reliable power source for under-counter bar fridge, washing machine, and convection/grill microwave)
Step 5: Go LED household lighting conversion route.
Step 6 : Bye-bye Eskom. >>
(am currently using pre-paid power meter.)
EDIT:
Step 7: UPVC double glazed windows.
Step 8: Ceiling 'thermo-guard' insulation
