MKBHD revealed how much electricity he is using per year. Mind-blowing number. But you have to consider this.

Der Tech-YouTuber Marques Brownlee, auch bekannt unter MKBHD, hat in einem älteren Video von 2023, in dem er sein Tesla Solar-Dach reviewed, veröffentlicht, wie viel Strom er in einem Jahr verbraucht. Die Zahl hat mich am Anfang umgehauen.

54 380 kWh pro Jahr. (54 Tausend kWh)

Das ist ungefähr das 36-Fache, das ich pro Jahr an Strom verbrauche (1500 kWh), d.h. MKBHD verbraucht in einem Jahr so viel Strom wie ich in über 30 Jahren.

Das klingt wirklich heftig, aber es gibt ein paar Punkte, die den Energieverbrauch relativieren.

Erstens hat MKBHD ein großes Haus und er betreibt mit dem Strom auch die Klimaanlage und lädt auch sein E-Auto auf. Damit ist die Zahl dann nicht mehr ganz so dramatisch.

Angenommen ihr fährt 10 Tausend km pro Jahr mit einem E-Auto, das ungefähr 25 kWh pro 100km verbraucht, dann wären das im Jahr 2500 kWh zusätzlicher Stromverbrauch.

Noch mehr Strom als das E-Auto würde allerdings die Klimaanlage und Heizung benötigen. Hier hängt der Stromverbrauch stark von der Größe der Wohnfläche, von der Temperatur und Effizienz der Klimaanlage ab und ob im Sommer das Haus auch gekühlt wird. Für ein großes Haus in den USA kann man sicher locker einige Zehntausend kWh im Jahr "verbrennen".

Was sagt ihr dazu? Hat euch die Zahl auch beeindruckt? Wie viel Strom verbraucht ihr pro Jahr ungefähr?

Tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee, also known as MKBHD, revealed how much electricity he consumes in a year in an older video from 2023 in which he reviewed his Tesla solar roof. The figure blew me away at first.

54,380 kWh per year. (54 thousand kWh)

That's about 36 times what I consume per year (1,500 kWh), meaning MKBHD consumes as much electricity in one year as I do in over 30 years.

That sounds insane at first, but there are a few points that put the energy consumption into perspective.

Firstly, MKBHD has a large house and also uses the electricity to run the air conditioning and charge his electric car. This makes the figure not quite so dramatic.

Assuming you drive 10 thousand km per year in an electric car that consumes around 25 kWh per 100 km, that would be 2500 kWh of additional electricity consumption per year.

However, the air conditioning and heating would require even more electricity than the electric car. Here, electricity consumption depends heavily on the size of the living space, the temperature and efficiency of the air conditioning system, and whether the house is also cooled in summer. For a large house in the US, you can easily “burn” several tens of thousands of kWh per year.

What do you think? Were you also impressed by the kilowatt figure? How much electricity do you consume per year approximately?

Ist schon echt viel wie du sagst. Deutlich mehr als das Zehnfache von dem was wir selbst als vierköpfige Familie pro Jahr verbrauchen.

Ist wirklich heftig, auch die Stromrechnung von fast 10K Dollar im Jahr ist nicht ohne, da kann ein großes Solardach mit Batterien wirklich etwas bringen.

I did the maths on my solar (After a year) about a week ago my TLDR:

Total Consumption: 8,832.7037 KwH
Average Daily Consumption: 24 KwH

Total Generation: 15,037 KwH
Average Daily Generation: 41 KwH

Total Energy Sent to the Grid: 6,639 KwH
Average Daily Exports: 18.13 KwH

In 12 months, I offset 23% of the start up costs of my system. So, in about 3.7something years, I'll be in profit, and still have 6 years of warranty left on my battery, and like 20 year of warranty on my panels. :)

There is no reason to pay for energy when we have an abundant resource. To call it renewable is a misnomer, because the sun won't technically last forever, but the best time to install solar (especially here in Australia) was yesterday. Energy bills are another form of control on consumers and industry.

4 year ROI time is really great. I think if one has a house and the opportunity to install a solar roof, one should go for it, considering growing energy prices for the grid and falling prices for solar panels and batteries, solar should be a no brainer.

That's way exaggerate, if I used that much energy I would go bankrupt!

I think it's excessive, even with a big house. He seems to like wearing short sleeves in the middle of winter at home.

Marques Brownlee is very impressive to be able to achieve that

My whole family uses around 4,000 kWh a year and we thought we were high. I think it makes sense though when you factor in the AC, electric car and a big house but still,wow

Vielleicht muss ihm jemand mal erklären, dass er Fenster zu haben sollte wenn er die Klimaanlage laufen lässt !LOL

Das sit schon ein krasser Wert und ich dachte erst es geht darum wieviel Strom sein Dach erzeugt.

Also ich brauche für Warmwasser und Heizung (Erdwärme) ein Bruchteil davon.

I don't know how much I use, but I think he has too many devices. He is a tech reviewer so there are probably some things he can't get away with, but he definitely uses a ton of electricty.
