Welcome to: ABC Do It Yourself Solar. Today is: 5/12/2022

The purpose of this worksheet is to help you design a solar and battery system.

First you need to determine just how much power you are using and where you could cut back.
Add your separate loads, TV's, Laptops, Lights, radio or other electronics you use on a daily basis.

Next lets determine how may solar modules and how big a battery bank you need.
What is your battery bank voltage? How many hours of sun do you get per day.

Lets take a look at how much each electrical appliance is costing to run.
How much money does your TV or any electronics cost per minute, hour, day, month or year.
How efficient is your inverter.

Just how long will that electrical appliance run on any given battery bank size.
Compare your needs to different sized battery banks.

These web links are the best of the best, I use them almost every day.

 How to LOCK a Work S
Cost of your application section, calculates one hour, one day, one month and one year
Put in more calculations
Put in the rest of the calculations
Power audit: type all your AC and DC loads you will be using. The program will figure how much power you use
per day.
If you do not know wattage input the amps and the program will figure the wattage in the
"Cost of your application" section
PV and battery size: this section will calculate how big your battery bank needs to be and how many solar panels
you will need for your system
I found a web site to tell you how much sun you will get at your location
Wire size for low voltage is critical. This web site will tell you what size wire you need for the voltage and distance of
your run.
Battery bank will last: How long will your load last of different sized battery banks
Created a section in the Cost of your Application to demonstrate how efficient your inverter is. Input your
inverter efficiency in % then input the watts of your load
Created "If you want extra battery storage ( 3 Days)" on page PV & Battery Size
Changed back to separate data sheets (pages), much less confusing and no more "Macros" some people would not
use this workbook because BAD things can me hiding inside Macros
Made many visual changes to most of the pages
Created a second page in the Power Audit section for 120V page and 12V page. Now you can have more
AC items and DC items. If you are not using an appliance then put 0 for how many hours used
Made many small changes for ease of use and looks
Fixed many spelling errors.
Added two web site link first: "Northern Arizona Wind & Sun Solar Forum" for further reference
The seconded: "Optimum Tilt of Solar Panels" lots of good information
Did not do anything today this is my 66th birthday, that is note worthy
Fixed many small errors so I could protect my work sheets
Locked Home, Power audit 120V, Power audit 12V and Cost of your Application pages to protect my formulas.
Created a separate page for web links
Added in 15% for inverter inefficiency on Power Audit 120V page
Tweaked several pages to get ready to post online
Locked work sheet to protect all formulas from accidental changes
Added cost per year. If you buy an appliance & know it uses $25.00 per year, go to "Cost of your Application"
