How much electricity does a computer and its monitor (not LCD)consume if running 12 hours a day?
I’m using the computer and monitor in my home at an average of 12 hours a day. My monitor is the ordinary monitor and not the LCD type. Would anyone know how much electricity I consume for a 12 hour use of the computer.

Comment on Solar Panels How They Work by CUBS ARE BETTER

It really has nothing at all to do with heat but rather a chemical reaction.

Solar panels are made up of many small squares called photovoltaic cells. The photovoltaic cells are usually made up of crystalline silicon under a glass cover. These cells are connected by tiny wires to the solar panel. When sunlight hits the crystalline silicon the material reacts by kicking off electrons. The electrons are collected by the tiny wires in the form of a direct current (DC). This DC current goes through an inverter which turns it into a usable alternating current (AC) electricity which can be stored in batteries or fed into an electrical grid system. A group of solar panels make up a solar array. The larger the array the more electricity you collect. Expensive panels are about 15% efficient while cheaper ones are 5-10 %. You can find sites that show you step by step how to build a solar panel in just a few days.
If you produce more electricity then you use you can sell it to the electric company.
