    Those figures you've provided add up to 15.9 kWh per day, which is about 5,800 kWh per year. That doesn't take into account your PV panels though, unless you've already allowed for what they provide.
    Your 2.25 kWh per day for the shower seems very low. Based on your usage for hot water, the shower is cold water fed. I don't see how four people can shower daily for that usage - do you allocate a shower day each? :)
    Does it really look low? My shower is rated at 8.5kW. Four 4 minute showers would be 16 minutes a day which would consume 2.26kWh per day. It's possible...How long are your showers?

    Can you honestly see the fairer sex showering in 4 minutes? :rotfl:
