This information is approximated for a south facing array
with no shade at a 30 degree tilt angle. |
Using this chart you can estimate how much power you use. The wattage for
most appliances is listed on them. Just take the number of hours you use
each item in a day and fill in the chart. Multiply the total watt-hours a
day, by 30 and you will know estimated monthly usage.
