How to use the Solar Battery Bank Size

The Formula

Bank Wh = (daily Wh × autonomy days) ÷ (DoD ÷ 100). This is the minimum nameplate energy before efficiency losses.

Practical Example

Add 20% for inverter and wiring losses, then use the Battery Bank Ah calculator to convert to amp-hours at your system voltage.
