Solar Power Calculator

This document provides a solar power calculator to help size solar panels, batteries, and storage for a system. It calculates that for a location with 7.72 kWh/m2 daily insolation in the sunniest month, a minimum 62.18 watt solar panel and 210 amp hour battery would be required to power a 15 amp per day load over 7 days without sun. Insolation data is available from sources like Gaisma to determine the sunniest month for sizing the system.
