FAQ
How do I use the battery size calculator?
Enter each load, running power, quantity, and backup hours. The calculator estimates the kWh needed and suggests a matching battery size.
What loads should I enter?
Enter only the loads you want to keep running, such as refrigerator, lights, WiFi, TV, POS system, freezer, water pump, security system, or home office equipment.
Can this solar battery size calculator work for home solar systems?
Yes. Use it to estimate storage needs for solar backup, night use, and essential home loads. Solar production and inverter compatibility still need to be checked.
Is a 10kWh Battery enough for home backup?
10kWh Battery capacity can support refrigerator, WiFi, lights, TV, and selected home loads. HVAC, pumps, large appliances, or whole-home backup need separate load calculation.
Can this battery backup size calculator be used for business loads?
Yes. POS systems, freezers, routers, lights, pumps, and office equipment can be entered as loads. Startup current and inverter output should also be checked.
Why is the recommended battery size larger than my load calculation?
Battery sizing needs usable capacity, inverter loss, depth of discharge, and safety margin. The final battery size should be larger than the exact energy number.
Can I use the result to choose a product directly?
Yes, for initial selection. Final product choice should still check load type, inverter output, battery voltage, installation space, and expansion needs.
