Solar Recharge Calculator

Estimate the solar energy and peak-sun-hours needed to refill a power station.

Estimated peak-sun time3.4 hoursEstimated days at your sun assumption0.9 days

Important electrical limit

This calculator estimates energy only. Before connecting panels, verify the power station’s maximum solar voltage, current and wattage limits and the panel array’s open-circuit voltage.

Real-world solar

Cloud cover, panel temperature, shading, orientation and season all reduce harvest. Using a 70–80% system factor is more realistic than assuming nameplate panel output for every hour of sunlight.
