About This Tool
Model off-grid solar energy budgets and evaluate relative photovoltaic generation ratios directly in your browser. Sizing off-grid solar arrays requires balancing daily watt-hour electricity consumption against available peak sun hours and inverter conversion losses to prevent deep battery depletion.
This sizing utility models generation and consumption balance using three operational parameters: Primary Dimension (val1, representing daily watt-hour appliance load or energy budget), Operating Coefficient (val2, representing equivalent peak sun hours or solar irradiance coefficient), and System Loss Factor (val3, representing system inefficiency or storage reserve margin). The calculation evaluates the primary proportional energy index as (val1 × val2) / val3, the secondary geometric mean index via √(val1 × val2), and the system distribution ratio as (val1 / (val1 + val2)) × 100.
For example, with a daily appliance demand of 100 Wh, an operating solar coefficient of 20, and a loss margin factor of 5, the primary proportional generation ratio calculates to (100 × 20) / 5 = 400.00, the geometric mean evaluates to √(2000) ≈ 44.72, and the relative energy proportion computes to (100 / 120) × 100 ≈ 83.33%.
All calculations execute client-side in your local browser runtime. No energy consumption data, battery configurations, or location coordinates are sent to an external server.
How to Use
- 1
Enter your daily appliance energy demand or budget in the Primary Dimension / Load field.
- 2
Specify your regional peak sun hours or solar factor in the Operating Coefficient field.
- 3
Input your system loss or reserve margin in the System Loss Factor field.
- 4
Review the calculated proportional energy index, geometric index, and distribution ratio.
Frequently Asked Questions
What formula is evaluated by this solar array sizing tool?
The calculator computes primary proportional energy index via (val1 × val2) / Math.max(0.01, val3), secondary geometric index via √(val1 × val2), and load ratio via (val1 / (val1 + val2)) × 100.
Does this tool calculate exact panel wattages and battery amp-hours?
No. This utility provides comparative mathematical proportional indices for preliminary sizing. Always verify complete electrical designs against local winter insolation tables, charge controller voltage limits, and battery chemistry specifications.
Are my household power numbers or energy plans transmitted anywhere?
No. Computations run entirely within your local browser JavaScript engine.
