Off-Grid Solar Calculator

Off-grid solar array & battery storage calculator

Off-Grid Solar Calculator launched on August 21, 2026.

What it does

Sizing an off-grid solar power system shouldn't feel like a complex engineering project. The Off-Grid Solar Calculator simplifies the entire process by analyzing your daily appliance loads against location-specific peak sun hours and seasonal irradiance variance. Get instant, accurate calculations for your daily watt-hour usage, required battery storage, and solar panel array capacity.

Calculate your exact off-grid solar and battery requirements based on your specific appliances and location.

• Daily Load Calculation (Wh/day): Calculated by taking the sum total of appliance operating wattages multiplied by estimated daily usage hours. • Battery Bank Sizing (kWh): Modeled around an 80% Depth of Discharge (DoD) for high-efficiency Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries to maximize lifespan and autonomy. Total storage capacity factors in your specified days of battery autonomy. • Solar Panel Array Sizing (kW): Evaluated using localized peak sun-hour data (kWh/m²/day). A 15–20% system inefficiency derating factor is automatically applied to account for real-world inverter losses, dust/shading, and cable voltage drops. • Winter & Seasonal Adjustments: Peak sun hours are…from solarblueprintcalc.framer.website

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
