• Get smart, try to use less energy wherever possible by controlling your devices through your
smartphones to monitor the energy usage in real-time.
• Ensure that there is nothing blocking your solar panels i.e., shade antennas or trees, etc.
• Try setting the air conditioning temperature between 24°C - 26°C, which will reduce the cooling
cost by almost 10%.
• Try switching to LED lighting, they last longer and consume less energy to produce the same
amount of brightness than fluorescent globes.
• Place motion sensors in your homes to control your lights, this helps to keep a check on energy
usage while you are away contributing towards saving energy.
• Try to have better insulation in your walls and ceilings to keep the temperatures even, which
will help you in minimizing the usage of heating or cooling system.
