The size of a solar electric system depends on the amount of power that is required ( watts ), the amount of time it is used ( hours ) and the amount of energy available from the sun in a particular are ( sun-hours per day ).
In order for us to size a proper system for your needs we need to take all these factors into consideration. There is no one system that will be right for everyone. Everyones needs are different.
If you would like for use to determine a properly sized system for you please follow this chart and fax or email it to use and we will size an approprite system for your needs.
Wattage of appliances can usually be determined from tags on the back of the appliance or from an owners manual. If any appliance is rated in Amps, multiply Amp by operating voltage ( 120/240 ) to find Watts.
SOLAR LOAD EVALUATION FORM FOR OFF GRID SYSTEMS
1. List all AC Loads, wattage and hours of use per week
2. If you have any DC loads do the same.
3. Then just fax or email these numbers to use and we will do the rest.

If any of your AC loads are 240 volt please let us know
DESCRIPTION OF AC LOADS RUN BY INVERTER WATTS X HOURS/WEEK = WATT-HOURS/WEEK
