I could do the same myself and certainly will next year. The only appliance I have that consumes mega power is the washing machine. I've got a gas Aga that can be converted to solid fuel if need be and provides most of the heating as well and the only other things already work on 12v. I don't own a toaster, dryer, kettle, microwave or massive television. I have LED lighting everywhere as well and have programmed my family to turn the lights off. 3 children, 2 adults, 2 guinea pigs = £230 a year in electricity! Not bad for a tech family. only problem is losses associated with 12v wiring. I probably don't have to fish out €6000 either for my needs.
