STEP 1. Estimate Your Daily Power Usage
(by selecting how long each component will run using the battery each day)
Use the green dropdowns below to select the number of minutes or hours the corresponding component is likely to run each day.
Note: If you do not intend to power a component with the battery, leave it at 0. Also, an inverter is required for 120V items (like microwave, coffee pot, air conditioner) to run on battery.
Total Daily Power Usage : 0 Watts

Step 2. Select your battery bank size, solar array size, and generator runtime to estimate how long your power will last while dry camping.
Battery Bank Size:
Note: Select your current or desired battery bank size to estimate how many days of power you'll have before depletion, based on your energy usage..
Selected Battery Capacity: 1200
Select Solar Array Size:
Note: Select a system size to see how many days you can extend your battery life using solar power.
Selected Solar Array Size: 200
