Are you trying to figure out how much power you’ll need from an off-grid solar power system? This video shows you how to calculate your energy needs to figure out exactly how many watts you need from your panels, what size of inverter and battery you should buy.

So I have a 100w Renogy solar panel and a 1100 w inverter and a group 27M RC Minutes 180 battery. I can't run a 900w coffee maker off this it kicks off as soon as I plug in in, what else do I need to make this work?
You explained it very very good! Thanks.
Hey, very informative video, thanks! After a lot of research, I found 100W flexible solar panels for just $1.2 per watt on Aliexpress s.click.aliexpress.com/e/BMvb6627A Maybe it will be helpful for you or others.
really well said. simple and straight to the point . thnx

I agree with others. VERY well explained. Thanks!
The best explanation until now, very nice !!
Best regards from Portugal.
Great presentation ! Thanks
An INPLIX is a place where you can learn how to make it yourself much cheaper.
the low power inverter point is really sensible.. didn't come across that even after so many articles/videos on solar
Hi Matt, very interesting, thank you for the info. Can I ask you, what Wattage would you recommend for a 6 berth camper motor home, 2 people touring Southern Europe, Med coast for 6 months ? Will not have access to mains power most of the time and would like to use a toaster, boil a kettle, charge a mobile phone, lap top ,cabin lights and a fan. Estimated daily sun hours, 8/9 or more. Appreciate your advice.
I made it myself. Just go to Inplix webpage if you'd like do the same
I have a 12v dc water pump that will be running 24/7 to circulate water. it doesn't have any Amps written on it. just says 12v. how would no work out how many watts it uses per hour?
Thanks for the basics.
any idea of achieving financial return on a solar system
