How To Calculate Solar Panel, Inverter and Battery Charger Specifications For Acquring Optimal Results

To calculate the necessary solar panel, batteries, charge controller, and inverter for powering a 100W device for 10 hours per day: 1. The power needed is 100W x 10 hours = 1,000Wh. 2. A 100W solar panel would be sufficient assuming 10 hours of sunlight, but for winter with only 5 hours, a 200W solar panel is needed to generate the 1,000Wh. 3. About 83Ah of battery power is needed, so selecting a 100Ah deep cycle marine battery would work well. 4. An 8-10A solar charge controller is needed to charge the batteries from the 100W solar panel. 5. A 100W

How to Calculate Solar Panel, Inverter

Acquring Optimal Results
Last Updated on January 10, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

The following publish describes by means of calculations tips on how


to choose and assess the right solar panel, inverter and charger
controller combinations for obtaining optimal results in the form of free
electricity.

For comfort, let's assume you have available a a hundred watt gadget
you are aiming for to use with totally free solar power for ten hours
every night.

To figure out precisely how large solar panel, batteries, charge


controller and inverter you are required to have, watch the below
circumstances.

1. Analyze the amount of electricity needed. 100 Watts x 10 hours =


1,000 Watt hours. Which happens to be the total power that is
required.

2. Subsequent determine how large solar panel you actually need.


Based upon a ten hour day of brightness, the approximation is self-
explanatory:
1,000 Watt hours / 10 hours sunlight = 100 Watt solar panel.

The easy simple truth is that almost all the summer time days or
weeks offer about 15 hours of sunshine and winter season you get
approximately 4-5 hours of natural light. Almost always choose the
most awful scenario predicament for
your solar panel. On those grounds, select a winter season day of
sunshine.
1,000 Watt hours / 5 hours sunlight = 200 Watt solar panel.
(Depending on standard United States daily sunlight.)

3. Estimate the optimum size of the batteries which can be important.


1,000 Watt hours divided by 12 Volts = 83 Amp Hours of reserve
battery power. 1,000 / 12 = 83.3
A standard marine deep cycle battery functions perfectly in this
instance. Select much larger battery to be assured, believe 100 Amp
hours power.

4. To calculate just how large solar charge controller you absolutely


need, think about your solar panel energy specs, which is a hundred
watts divided by twelve Volts.
100 / 12 = 8.3 Amps.
Desirably pick larger sized units, thereby use a ten Amp solar charge
controller.

5. Know what power inverter can be utilized. That's the trouble-free


element. You may want to energize a a hundred Watt load,
consequently select an inverter including the
approximately a hundred Watts constant power standing.
