Energy
Watts × daily run time = watt-hours. This determines how much battery capacity you need.

Step 1 of 3
Where do you need dependable power?
Choose the closest starting point. You can change every load in the next step.
Step 2 of 3
What needs to stay powered?
Select your loads, then adjust the quantities, wattage, and daily run time below.

120V load planNo selected preset load requires 240V. Always verify equipment nameplates.
View planning assumptions
Battery estimate: 90% usable capacity, 92% conversion efficiency, and 10% reserve.
Solar estimate: 80% overall production factor. Inverter output includes 25% continuous headroom plus the largest selected motor-start surge.

What your results actually mean
The planner separates capacity from output because a battery can store enough energy and still be unable to start a high-demand appliance.
Output
Running watts and the largest motor start determine the inverter's continuous and surge ratings.
Recharge
Daily energy ÷ peak sun hours, adjusted for system losses, creates the solar array target.
Planning estimate only. Actual wattage, duty cycle, motor surge, temperature, battery limits, wiring, code requirements, shading, and weather vary. Verify equipment nameplates and product specifications before purchase. Hardwired 120/240V systems and transfer equipment require qualified design and installation. Do not use this estimate as the sole basis for life-safety or medical equipment.
