LOAD AUDIT

Daily Energy Load & Appliance Audit

Tally daily Watt-Hours and Amp-Hours with true inverter efficiency losses.

AUDIT INPUTS

System Next Steps

  • Battery Storage: Your 2-day autonomy bank needs ~65.3 × 2 ÷ 0.80 = 163 Ah in LiFePO4.
  • Transfer calculation: Send load to Battery Sizer →
  • Solar PV: Requires ~220W–300W of solar panels to replenish this load daily.

Engineering Scope & Formulas

Handles AC and DC loads across 12V, 24V, and 48V battery architectures. Applies realistic inverter conversion loss (80%–95%).

Daily Wh = ∑ (Watts × Hours/day × Qty) ÷ Inverter Efficiency; Daily Ah = Total Daily Wh ÷ System Voltage
