Re: Huge power losses living off the grid with nealy nothing that could drain this.

I have the same problem with a lot in sulani. 
i’m playing survival thema with off the grit lot trait. 

i had more then 4 sunpower items on my roof and 2 sunpower items on the ground. And i stil had an energie use of -28 or even more?! Like how i only had a view of the grit lights, 1 fridge, 1 stove. (All working with off the grit.)

i figured out that the candles cost power regardless if they are off the grit items! 

all fridge are draining power to. does not matter if they are off the grit Items and there is no option to turn the power use off from the item. 
there was ice stored inside it and it drained power...

what i did to remove the draining power from my lot:

- i deleted all candle light so my sims living in darkness. 
- bought a new fridge and upgraded it with handiness skill a trait so it does drain less power. 

- upgraded the stove with the less power energie trait. And set the use power option off. 

at the start of the new week my power is 0 again and now for the first time ever i’m making energie with my 6 sunpower items on my roof and the ground. 

but at night the poweruse is like -120 again and at daylight its +?? (I dont know the numbers)
