What information do I need to provide on the appliance or load listing in order to design my battery backed solar system?

You are here: Home / FAQ / What information do I need to provide on the appliance or load listing in order to design my battery backed solar system?

To begin the design process, you must list all items you are considering to power using your battery backed system by the item name, the power rating of the device, and the length of time (hours) during the week the item will be in operation. The power consumption information can be found on the manufactures tag in the same locations as the model and serial number. The power consumption may be listed as watts or the amount of current draw in amps. Most appliances require 120 volts and some requires 240 volts (110 & 120 volts are considered to be the same in this instance as are 220 & 240 volts).
