PV System Load Estimation Worksheet

The document is a worksheet for estimating the load and sizing the components of a photovoltaic (PV) system. It lists individual household loads such as lights, appliances, electronics and their power requirements in watts. It then calculates the total connected watts, average daily load in watt-hours, and estimated battery and inverter requirements to power the system based on the load analysis. Component sizing worksheets are also included to determine the necessary PV panel array, controller, inverter and battery bank specifications to meet the load needs of the system.
