How much energy do I use on an average day?

Jan 4, 2023

How much energy do I use at home per winter day? ~95kWh

3kWh for driving via electricity
- home to work and back is 5.6 mile
- lets dbl that for when I drive to store or other errands -> 11.2 miles
- lets round up 12 miles
- the tesla model 3 uses 0.25kwh per mile
- so 12 miles is 3kwh
- this assumes no heat or ac
9kWh for powering home via electricity
- decemebers bill was 252kWh
- this is ~8.4kWh per day
- round up and assume 9kWh per day
1.2kWh for stove via propane
- invoices from paraco list "units" of propane, Im gonna assume 1 unit is 1 gallon
- looks like I use ~15 gallons per year,
- 1 gallon of propane is 27kWh
- so 15 gallons is 405kWh
- this is ~1.15kWh per day
81kWh for heat via oil (assume this level from October to March)
- I use AFCO
- last bill was $660
- current cost on their website is $4.449/gallon
- so 660/4.449 = ~149 gallons
- 1 gallon of oil is ~41kWh
- so 149 gallons is ~6,100 kWh
- what time period was this bill for? last bill was Oct 18th, this bill was Jan 2nd
- so 6,100/75 = ~81kWh per day

total consumption of NY is 3,354 trillion BTU
1 BTU is 0.000293 kWh
so 3,354 trillion BTU * 0.000293071 kWh ~= 982 billion kWh
per day thats 982 billion kWh / 365 = 2.7 billion kWh
to supply that with solar panels, we'd need 2.7 billion kWh / 0.675 kWh/m2/day = 4 billion m2
- see above for where 0.675 comes from
the total surface area of NY State is 141,300 km2 or 141 billion m2
so we'd need to cover 2.8% of NY with solar panels
