It was just a random base figure for easy calculation that was in an energy calculator site I used. Too much variance around the world to pick any arbitrary "accurate" number since it wouldn't carry over. Tiered pricing makes it even more difficult. Either way, the power draw cost difference is substantial. _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
