This solar installation requirements calculator was compiled using standard factors like, 0.8 PF on inverter, 1.25 correction factor, 5hrs peak sunlight, and 50% DOD on tubular lead batteries for overall optimal performance and efficiency.
The calculator helps you to calculate and output the requirements needed to set up a solar system (solar panel, battery bank size, charge controller, and inverter) and these requirements satisfy the number of hrs you input after the battery stops charging.
It only requires you to input your appliances load (w) and the number of hours(hrs) you'd want to use the solar backup after the battery stops charging.
- How to get the load of the appliance per watt: Look at the back, top, or power pack of each of the appliances you'd want to use on the solar system, write down the numbers with the (W) sign and sum them up.eg. Laptop 90w, TV 45w, 2 phone chargers 2 x 5w =10w, decoder 40w; 90 + 45 + 10 + 40 = 185w. So the load of my appliances = 185w.
- How many hours do you want to use the appliances after sunset? e.g 5hrs. Write out the total appliance loads and hrs.
