Solar Panel And Battery Bank Calculator
The lithium batteries we use are purpose built for off grid solar and utilize a special lithium chemistry called lithium ferro phosphate lifepo4 commonly called lfp.
Solar panel and battery bank calculator. By using the very same solar battery calculator you can define as well the number of solar batteries connected in parallel if your solar battery bank is composed of solar batteries of voltage equal to solar panel nominal voltage i e solar power system voltage. Unfortunately we don t design systems for our customers but we do offer you the tools to design your own system. Please remember that this calculator works out the minimum battery bank size for a given power consumption. When using an inverter the current draw on the battery side can be extremely high so you may need a battery bank that is larger than the minimum.
The off grid solar panel system calculator helps you size the battery bank watts of solar panels and the solar charge controller you need. For example 1200w drawn at 240v is only 5a whereas at 12v this current increases to 100a. Batterystuff tech i would suggest running your numbers into the calculator. Voltage of your battery bank you already selected a voltage in the second input in the above calculator though you may change your mind either during this part or later.
Because of the better efficiency and deeper discharge depth lithium battery banks tend to be only 50 60 of the size of a comparable lead acid bank.
