About this estimate
Panel sizing follows the load thresholds configured for the selected KBC solar zone. The selected panel is the smallest configured array that supports the continuous load in that zone. Battery sizing compares load × requested backup hours with each bank’s configured usable amp-hours × system voltage. It does not calculate winter autonomy, recharge time or guaranteed solar output. Shading, mounting angle, local weather, battery ageing, temperature, wiring and enclosure fit need a site design review.
