Electricity saver device

Hi,
So, not everyone of us can afford solar grids for home. In some cases, mostly in rental cases, the roof does not belong to the person renting and in most of the cases the electricity board, if it’s a goberment board, won’t give you the necessary permission until and unless their cut is paid. Now these companies are very clever. They have made slabs say 4 rs. per unit till 100 units, then rs. 7 per unit till 200 units. These bastards intentionally will raise an invoice after 2 months so that a customer is charged the highest bill.
There are cheap chinese devices available in the market which are connected to the main line coming from the meter which keeps on updating in their chinese language app how much bill(estimated as these boards will never agree with them) will come in the next invoice. Is anyone using these devices? Are they available online? Any other device like this to save electricity?
P.S. My friend who lives in some developed country said that he hasn’t paid any electricity bill since the past 5 years and the electricity department is paying him around $1000usd per month for supplying excess electricity to them lol

True that these electricity boards bill so as to charge more using slabs but there are no devices which can reduce your bill (only monitor)
BTW is your “friend” a professor in whatsapp university? 
Which devices are good for monitoring the same?
Easy for someone to say who doesn’t live in the west. They are miles ahead of us.
There is nothing called savers, particularly when it comes to energy. These magical devices usually have a capacitor inside which corrects the power factor. But households are not charged based on power factor, but industries/software offices come under this category. Power factor is something that will be close to 1 when you only use resistive loads like incandescent lamps, but the usage is rare now. Now a days, every device in household deteriorates power factor and as a result power factor will be poor. The moment electricity board decides to charge based on power factor, the bills will shoot up much more. Be glad that they are not doing so.
Also the amount of power factor that one deteriorates usually result in losses at board’s end. Who is gonna bear that loss? It’s the board.
Whatever you wrote went above my head. In my state they shifted from kvah to kwh as a metric to measure the usage and everyone’s bill went skyrocketing. This sucks man.
You are getting paranoid so just shut your mobile and take a deep breath.
The capacitor based power savers save so it’s not fraud.
Cutting electricity usage is the only saver. Use bldc fans, use 7 w bulbs, avoid a/c, use solar water heater.
The telescopic biling for electricity is age old you only noticed it now. Clever guys know to keep the reading under control.
I have friend who sell excess solar electricity from their bunglow to the power grid. I had similar plan but have decided to instal solar dehydrator modules.
On the capacitive based power savers, do they help in domestic? How?
Yes.
To save electricity you have to first understand how the electronic meter works.
No rocket science. Lot of youtube videos with right or fake info. Just have to pick what’s logical.
Please remember to quote the comment, else the user will miss the response.
tldr version: Capacitor banks will not save any power bill in case of domestic, but they do improve power factor which is a cost determining factor in case of industries.
Now please understand that “no-rocket-science”. Don’t go with youtube gyan, there are many dumb videos, among which the quality one’s will be no where.
Domestic connections are always based on kWh, where power factor can be at stake and the electricity board wont bother.
In case of office/industry connections, they are charged as per kVah, where the power is charged as per power factor.
To help you understand kWh = kVah X PF . In ideal cases or resistive loads, power factor will be close to 1, but with many appliances it comes below 1 which results in higher charges in case of kVah.
I don’t want to bore you further with too much information. If you still think they help in case of domestic connections, I will let you believe in that.
install more than 1 meter
How in the world will that reduce bill?
Shift to Delhi 🥺
I am also getting so much bill, Planning to get Roof solar installed , in Punjab they are installing 1KW in 22000 rs..on grid, does anybody have installed already, is it beneficial ROI.
