How Much Solar Power Do I Need?
A beginner's guide to choosing the right solar system.
- • Start with your daily consumption in kWh, not your bill in rand.
- • Size the inverter to your peak simultaneous load, then the battery to the hours you want covered.
- • Panels are sized to recharge the battery and carry daytime loads — typically 1.2 to 1.5 times battery capacity.
