Hmmm I have a home with two solar panels, two wind turbines and two dew collectors. I upgraded my fridge to energy efficient and was able to save power no problem most days. Fridges always run which causes issues even in off the grid households as you can’t turn off their utility usage. So that could be part of the issue if you have a fridge. I’d get so many notifications about power going on and off before I upgraded it.
The generators are industrial unless you use bio fuel from bugs. I haven’t been using them personally so I can’t say how well they save power. Solar panels also are affected by weather if you have seasons as they won’t gain you any power if it’s not sunny.
Hope this helps and hope you figure it out.
