HOME / How to match the wattage of photovoltaic panels with inverters - CAPTURED ENERGY SOLAR (PTY) LTD1,000 / 5 = 200 Watt solar panel. Now that we have our solar panel size figured out it is time to calculate the amp hour rating for the batteries you will need to keep your specified load running under all conditions. Let's say you choose a battery that is rated at 12 volts then you would do the following calculation:
If the selected battery is rated at 12V, in that case: Dividing 1,000 Watt hours by 12 Volts = 83 Amp Hours of reserve battery power. Let's upgrade this value a little more with a 20% added tolerance, which finally gives a rounded up figure of around 100 AH. Hence, a 100AH 12V battery is what you may finally require for the inverter.
So if we take that 100 watt load we mentioned earlier and say you want to use it for about 10 hours the total power you will need can be calculated by simply multiplying the load by the hours like this: 100 * 10 = 1,000 Watt hours. This number represents the total power you will need from your solar panel.
1,000 Watt hours / 5 hours sunlight = 200 Watt solar panel. 3) Once you have calculated the solar panel as per the above calculations, it's time to calculate the AH rating for the batteries that might be required for operating the specified load under all conditions. If the selected battery is rated at 12V, in that case:
