Solar kit: what can 1 to 2 panels power?
A plug&play solar kit (1 or 2 panels, on a balcony, a roof or a van / motorhome) does not cover everything: its value depends on which appliances you plug in and at what time. This free tool shows you, over a typical day for each season, whether solar generation keeps up with your consumption hour by hour.
Choose your town, the orientation and tilt of the panels and the power, then tick your appliances and set the time they are used: by stacking several appliances at the same moment, you see straight away whether the kit can handle the load, whether some uses should be moved to the sunniest hours, or whether the generation is simply not enough.
Where are you?
Latitude affects the length of the day and the height of the sun, season by season.
Your panels
Orientation, tilt and power determine the real generation.
Your appliances
Tick an appliance and set its start time. “24 h” appliances (fridge…) run continuously.
Generation vs consumption over a typical day
One day per season: compare, hour by hour, what the kit produces and what your appliances consume.
