PV System Load Estimation Worksheet

The document contains worksheets for sizing photovoltaic (PV) systems. It lists the power consumption of various household appliances in watts and calculates their daily and monthly energy use in kilowatt-hours. It then sizes the battery bank, PV panel array, inverter and controller based on the daily load and other specified parameters. The key specifications calculated are a 350 amp-hour battery bank with 8 batteries in series and 2 strings of batteries in parallel, a 5 kW PV array with 5 panels in series and 1 string, and inverters and controllers rated for the 48V system voltage and daily loads.
