Peak Sun Hours
Peak Sun Hours expresses the equivalent full-sun hours available for daily energy production.
Estimate preliminary PV array size, panel count, inverter capacity, and off-grid battery size.
All ToolsThis tool is only for preliminary estimation. Final design depends on location, irradiation data, orientation, shading, temperature, inverter specifications, battery chemistry, and local design rules.
Peak Sun Hours expresses the equivalent full-sun hours available for daily energy production.
System loss covers practical losses from wiring, inverter, temperature, dust, mismatch, and operation.
On-grid systems focus on PV and inverter sizing; off-grid systems also require battery backup estimation.
Depth of Discharge defines how much of nominal battery energy is intended to be usable.
