[RE-wrenches] Battery bank calculator

[RE Ellison]

I don't think it can be done accurately with a sizing tool i've actually never heard of a tool at least not that I can remember

There's far too many variables.
Everything from loads to solar isolation as well as the habits of the individual occupants and the appliance selection in the home

The old joke used to be calculate what you needed for three days and then double it as far as battery bank size

Just a few thoughts, batten five dollars will get your cuppa coffee and a lot of convenient stores
