Choosing the right battery capacity for your solar setup isn''t guesswork—it''s about knowing your solar energy needs. If you go too small, you''ll run out of power fast. Too big, and
But what matters more is its energy content, expressed in watt-hours (Wh), calculated by multiplying capacity by voltage (e.g., a 100 Ah battery at 12 V holds 1,200 Wh).
To determine the number of solar panels you need, assess your home''s average energy use in kilowatt-hours. The amount of sunlight in your area also affects the power your panels can
For grid-connected systems, use 1-3 lithium-ion batteries with at least 10 kWh capacity. Off-grid systems may need over 10 batteries. Always consider daily energy
Battery storage system sizing is significantly more complicated than sizing a solar-only system. While solar panels generate energy, batteries only store it, so their usability (as
Specify the solar panel wattage you plan to use. The result will estimate how many panels you need to meet your energy goals. Enter the
For your 5kWh daily usage and 8 hours backup, you need a 180.5Ah 12V Lithium-ion battery. We recommend a 200Ah commercial size. Solar battery storage systems allow you to store
