What is a solar panel and Battery sizing calculator?

A Solar Panel and Battery Sizing Calculator is an invaluable tool designed to help you determine the optimal size of solar panels and batteries required to meet your energy needs. By inputting specific details about your energy consumption, this calculator provides tailored insights into the solar setup that will best suit your requirements.

How many watts can a solar panel produce?

The capacity of a solar panel to generate power under standard conditions. Example: A 300-watt panel can produce 300 watts of power per hour under optimal sunlight. The amount of energy a battery can store and supply. Example: A battery with 10 kWh capacity can power a 1 kW device for 10 hours.

How many solar panels do I Need?

The number of solar panels you need depends on battery size, sunlight availability, and system efficiency. For a 12V 100Ah lithium battery, around 400W of solar panels is ideal. Larger systems like 24V, 48V, or 20kWh setups require proportionally more panels.

How do I calculate a solar panel wattage?

Controller A ≈ array W ÷ system V × 1.25. Estimates for planning only. Always verify against equipment datasheets and local codes. Enter your daily energy use in kWh. Add your peak sun hours (look this up for your location). Adjust efficiency, panel wattage, battery autonomy, and DoD as needed. Click Calculate to see the results.
