Solar resource
Use project-location irradiance and the actual module orientation/shading rather than a generic sun-hour assumption.
Project BriefEnergy Balance Planner
Use project assumptions to test the relationship between PV generation, usable battery energy and defined outdoor loads. The result is a planning balance only—not a solar-yield forecast, autonomy guarantee or electrical design.
Energy assumptions
Before a system is released
Real performance depends on site solar resource, module layout, shading, temperature, exact battery/BMS limits, inverter/control logic, load timing and whether mains support is available.
Use project-location irradiance and the actual module orientation/shading rather than a generic sun-hour assumption.
Confirm usable depth of discharge, temperature range, charge/discharge limits and reserve behaviour from the selected battery/BMS.
Confirm continuous/surge capacity, conversion efficiency, protection and load-shedding priorities.
Motor starts, lighting schedules and auxiliary loads may coincide even when daily energy totals look small.
Where mains charging is available, define when it is allowed and how it interacts with solar/battery control.
Battery, inverter and control components should remain inspectable and replaceable over the system life.
Use the balance as a project input
