Energy Needs

Enter your daily energy consumption. Use the Home Load Calculator to find your exact daily usage.

2.00 kWh/day

Inverter must handle at least 1,250 W

Location & Sunlight

Peak sun hours determine how much power your panels can generate each day.

e.g. Delhi, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana

5.5 hours/day

Average peak sun hours for North India

Calculation Assumptions

  • 75% overall system efficiency (wiring, temperature derating, charge controller, battery round-trip)
  • LiFePO4: 80% depth of discharge · Lead-acid: 50% depth of discharge
  • 20% battery safety margin for capacity headroom
  • Prices in INR as of 2026-06-19. INR retail prices for Indian market (panels, batteries, inverters). Verify quarterly on Amazon.in, IndiaMart, or manufacturer portals.
  • Inverter sized at 1.25× peak load; MPPT controller sized at 1.25× array watts ÷ system voltage
