Oh no doubt, my old washer was 20 years old and dryer was at least 30, so definitely more energy efficient now. I figure for the price, if it only lasts the 3 years of the warranty its probably done its job. With the battery on the house, if im charging the battery between 1am and 6am its 26c and between 10am and 3pm its 18c.
The one thing that pisses me off is if i have the battery set to charge from the grid at those times to say 70% capacity i have to turn off the setting to allow the sun to fill the battery to capacity. So at this time of the year im constantly turning it off and on and checking the weather forecast
