During March 2015, the NZERTF consumed 1014 kWh of electrical energy. The solar electric photovoltaic system generated 1039 kWh of electricity during the month. The difference between the energy produced by the solar photovoltaic system and the energy consumed by the NZERTF, 25 kWh, was imported from the electric grid. A graphical representation of the energy consumed and generated is found in the year to date results.

The following chart breaks down the total energy consumed by the house into the various end uses. For the month of March  2015  the greatest energy end use was for space conditioning to maintain the house at 70 F +/- 1 F (21.1 C +/- 0.5 C followed by plug loads.  The third largest user was for water heating.  

A breakdown of the appliance end use into the energy consumed by individual appliances is captured in the following pie chart. During the month of March 2015 the greatest appliance energy usage was associated with the clothes dryer.
