The Complete Off Grid Solar System Sizing Calculator
Using your daily energy usage and Peak Sun Hours, and assuming a system efficiency of 70%, the calculator estimates the Wattage required for your off-grid solar system''s solar array.
What is an 'off-grid" solar power system? An off-grid solar power system captures energy from sunlight and stores it in a battery bank for use in a structure which is beyond the reach of the main power grid.
Step 1 – Add Your Appliances - The calculator is pre-populated with common off-grid appliances. Add, edit and remove appliances as needed Step 2 – Enter Sun Hours - See map below to find your zone Step 3 – Review Results - Battery Bank Amp Hours and Required PV Array will show your requirements
This is then compared to what the solar systems will produce for the location you are using them. Off-grid solar power kits provide electricity in remote locations like homes, cabins, outbuildings, and other remote locations that are not served by the main power grid.
Gas dryers are the way to go for Off-Grid and they are second only to a solar dryer (clothesline) But if you really like those fluffy towels a machine dryer is a requisite.
