Solar and battery planning tools

Useful answers,
with the losses shown.

Size a battery bank, check runtime, plan a solar array, or map a series-parallel layout. Every estimate shows the assumptions and the upward rounding behind it.

No account Runs locally Assumptions stay editable

A calculator should show its work

Inputs stay on your device

The first release has no account, database, or calculation API.

Presets are starting points

Depth of discharge and efficiencies remain visible and editable.

Hardware counts round up

The tool recalculates capacity from the whole number of batteries or panels.
