In home the biggest use of energy is for?

That will vary widely from one country to another; it also varies with time. In some countries, a lot of energy is used for heating.

In houses with solar homes, there is no recurring cost for taking showers (technically it still uses energy, but it doesn't get on the power company's bill), so in that case, lighting is probably the biggest consumer.
