Design the optimal energy storage architecture for hybrid and off-grid solar systems, factoring in specific power loads, chemistry parameters, and backup duration.
Enter your connected load, required backup hours, and inverter constraints on the left to generate the exact series/parallel wiring configuration required.
This algorithm calculates absolute Energy Capacity (kWh) based on the specific Depth of Discharge (DoD) characteristics and efficiencies of the chosen chemistry. However, a safe and fully functional battery bank must also be evaluated against its maximum Peak Power Load (kW) (C-Rating).
A bank sized strictly for energy storage may fail catastrophically or trigger inverter shut-downs if its aggregate discharge limit cannot support the inrush current of inductive loads (e.g., HVAC compressors or water pumps). Final system architecture must be verified by a certified solar engineer.
