“To power everything in your home (at least when the wind is blowing), you’d need more like five thousand watts”

LOL. Maybe if you have a natural gas home..

That’s just the electric water heater in my home.

“That’s just the electric water heater in my home.”

And that or your pool heater is what you’d use (with a little modding), along with a couple of cheap relays, in lieu of buying that “electronic brake” for $1k.

Yeah. the water heater is 5KW, the range is 3KW, the dryer is 2KW, then each room has a (minimum) 1KW baseboard heater. Add in the lighting load and well:

5KW doesn’t go very far in an all electric home, FRiend...
