Your Estimated System Requirements

Calculated Rand per kWh:

Estimated Daily Consumption: kWh

Important Notes:
These are estimated figures for basic hardware sizing.
- Solar panel output varies significantly based on your exact location, roof angle, shading, and the time of year. The "average effective sunlight hours" used here is a general South African average.
- Battery sizing includes a buffer for autonomy and battery health, and considers your usage patterns. This capacity can typically be built using a bank of 12V, 24V or 48V batteries.
- Inverter sizing accounts for typical household peak loads.
- The estimated system cost is an average based on current South African market data (R22,000 per kW of inverter capacity, including panels, batteries, inverter, and installation). Actual costs may vary significantly based on specific component brands, installation complexity, and regional pricing.
- "Rand per Watt (Installed)" is calculated based on the estimated total system cost divided by the inverter's rated power in Watts.
For an accurate and detailed system design, including specific component models, wiring, safety features, and installation costs, please consult with a qualified solar energy professional in your area.
