Energy Planner
by Oxyn — quick off-grid system estimate

Design your off-grid energy system

Answer a few questions about your home and appliances — no electrical knowledge needed. For each appliance, pick Low/Medium/High if you're not sure of its exact power draw (shown in watts), or type your own value if you know it. Running totals update live at the bottom of the page as you go.

How this estimate is calculated

Daily energy = sum of (quantity × hours/day × power) for every appliance. Peak demand applies a simultaneity factor of 70% to non-essential loads (not everything runs at once). Solar array size = daily energy ÷ (peak sun hours × 0.80 system efficiency, accounting for wiring, inverter and temperature losses). Battery storage = daily energy × autonomy days ÷ 0.80 usable depth-of-discharge (typical for lithium batteries). Inverter size = peak demand × 1.25 safety margin. These are general planning estimates, not final engineering figures.

This is a preliminary estimate only, based on typical appliance power ranges and standard assumptions. Actual appliance draw, local solar irradiance, battery chemistry, and installation conditions vary. Before purchasing equipment, have your final system design reviewed and confirmed by a certified solar installer.
