You'll notice that I mainly measured high-power devices anyway, but still...

(I love the way turning my PC on requires 50% more power than playing a 
3D-intensive computer game...)

Now then, what do you suppose the total area of my roof is? (Are solar 
panels even waterproof?!) With all that area, you could generate... 
almost 1 kW. On a sunny day.

So, let's see... *almost* enough power to run half a vacuum cleaner.

I wonder if it would make a difference living in the Sahara?
