Question by OPHELLE’S GUY:
Which is more practical, turning of your personal for a 1 hour break to save energy and cost or just leave it?
We want to save energy and cost for our office, and someone recommends that we must turn off our personal during break times, which is 15 minutes to 60 minutes only. Is there any study about this?

WHAT KIND OF SOLAR PANEL WOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO RUN MY COMPUTER OFF THE GRID 24HRS A DAY?
Sep 18th
Question by Maddogmc:
What kind of solar panel would be adequate to run my personal off the grid 24hrs a day?
Besides my refrigerator, the only other electrical device I leave running all day is my personal (cpu, monitor, modem, speakers). So to reduce my hydro bill, what kind of solar panel would be adequate to run my personal off the grid 24hrs a day?
Thanks
Wow, thanks guys.
So I checked out local prices for solar panels. Turns out it would cost me roughly 00 to have 1000watts of panels installed. With my current hydro bill, which I pay each other month, I would have to wait approximately 27 years before breaking even with the 00 purchase.
They sure do not make it simple for us to save the planet..

Question by Angel:
Does it save more energy to log off my personal for the night or shutting it down and rebooting it?
Some of my friends state that I should just log off and never turn my personal off if I want to save energy. But shouldn’t turning off my personal use less energy…? They think that restarting it in the morning will use a lot more energy. Is this true?
