Battery & solar calculator

Balance daily appliance use against usable battery capacity and realistic solar input.

Your stationary power plan

Enter rated watts and the hours each load runs per day.

Planning estimate: compressor duty cycle, shade, panel angle, heat, wiring, inverter losses and battery management can change the result. Use measured energy data where available.
Formula for the nerds
daily load = Σ watts × hours
usable battery = Ah × volts × usable %
solar yield = panel watts × sun hours × (1 − losses)
runtime = usable battery ÷ net daily draw
