HOW IS ELECTRICITY STORED?
How many kilowatt-hours of electricity can the solar container battery provide Deployed in under an hour, these can deliver anywhere from 20–200 kW of PV and include 100–500 kWh of
Solar systems typically operate at 12V, 24V, or 48V. Ensure your panels, batteries, and inverter all work together at the same voltage. When in doubt about compatibility, don't hesitate to call us! We're here to help you build a system that works seamlessly. Try different combinations of appliances in the calculator.
Example: Our 150W refrigerator running for 8 hours uses 1.2 kWh. Solar Panel Array: This is all your solar panels combined. Its size is measured in watts (W) or kilowatts (kW) and determines how much energy you can generate under peak sunlight. Battery: This stores the energy your panels generate for use when the sun isn't shining.
Think of it as how "thirsty" for electricity an appliance is at any given moment. Example: A typical 20 cubic feet refrigerator (standard size for most households) might use about 150W when running. Watt-Hours (Wh): This measures energy use over time. It's calculated by multiplying wattage by the number of hours used.
Select an appliance from the list or enter one manually. If you select an appliance from the list, the calculator will estimate the power usage of the chosen appliance, and if the appliance operates on a duty cycle, the calculator will take that into consideration when calculating its energy consumption.
