The first step in configuring your solar or wind power system is to define your load. There are two aspects you need to know: power and energy. To determine the power requirements look up the "Power Rating" on the appliances you wish to run simultaneously. Next, determine how many hours per day these loads will run. The product of power and time is energy, usually expressed in Kilowatt-hours. (KWH) The energy rating (KWH) and the power rating (watts) is the most important characteristic of your load you need to define. You can also check your existing electric bill for "Kwh per month" consumption. This will tell you how many Kwh of energy you'll need each month. From this information we can help you configure the proper sizing for the equipment to run these loads. For more system information visit our information website www.solarquote.com sitemap
