WATTS DIVIDED BY VOLTS = AMPS
AMPS - 10% = USABLE
USABLE AMPS X SUNLIGHT TIME = TOTAL AMP SUPPLY IN GIVEN TIME
IF your were to have 6 hours of uninterrupted sunshine -
A 50 watt solar panel and a 40L Engel fridge (that uses 2.2 amps per hour)
50watt divided by 12vlts = 4.1 Amps
4.1 Amps - 10% = 3.6 Usable Amps
3.6 Amps x 6 Hours = 21.6 Amps in 24hrs
The fridge could run for 10 hours using 22 Amps
Comparison Calculation
Amps(A) per appliance x Average hours(H) of use per day = Amp Hours (AH) per day
Refrigerator, 7 Amps for 8 Hours = (7x8) = 56 AH
Lighting, 1 Amp for 4 Hours = (1x4) = 4 AH
Daily Power Required = 60 AH
Add your 30% (safety measure) = (60 x 1.3%) = 78 AH
With 80% depth of discharge / Daily Power Requirement = (78 divided by 0.8)= 97.5 AH
Century Gel/AGM 100 AMP / HR - suitable for this application under this condition
The greatest demands on solar powered systems occur in winter. A time of shorter days and colder temperatures, winter conditions used to dictate the ultimate size requirements - and therefore expense - of the solar cells and batteries. The PowerStar Solar Regulator can increase the power yield from your solar cells by up to 30% in cold and overcast conditions, giving a critical edge, reducing cost and the environmental footprint.
