PV System Load Estimation Worksheet

The document estimates the load and sizing requirements for a photovoltaic (PV) system. It calculates the daily and monthly AC load to be 3526.75 watt-hours and 105.80 kilowatt-hours respectively. It determines the battery requirements to be 27 350-amphour batteries in parallel. The panel sizing worksheet calculates the array to require 98 modules in parallel to produce 490.97 array peak amps. An inverter is selected that can handle the 3-6 times surge wattage of 11135.88 watts for the total AC load of 3711.96 watts.
