    PV System Load Estimation Worksheet

    Uploaded by

    Ryan Burns
    The document is a worksheet for estimating the load and sizing the components of a photovoltaic (PV) system. It lists individual household loads such as lights, appliances, electronics and their power requirements in watts. It then calculates the total connected watts, average daily load in watt-hours, and estimated battery and inverter requirements to power the system based on the load analysis. Component sizing worksheets are also included to determine the necessary PV panel array, controller, inverter and battery bank specifications to meet the load needs of the system.

    The document provides a load estimation worksheet to calculate the daily energy consumption of various appliances and components in a home. It then uses this information to size the key components of a photovoltaic (PV) system to meet the estimated daily energy needs.

    The refrigeration, air conditioning/heating, and clothes dryer are estimated to be the largest energy consumers, each using over 3000 watt hours per day on average.

    The total estimated average daily energy load according to the worksheet is 93,534.74 watt hours per day.
