Thanks for your feedback and taking it for a spin. I will as promised make more and more edits to the calculator to improve its accuracy whilst still keeping it as simple as possible to use.
One thing that I wanted to change that bothers me about other calculators is that I did not want to...
I have yet to build in your advice, but I would for now like to share my basic calculator so far. Please note I am not a programmer and that I made use of Chat GPT4 to help me build this calculator. It is exciting what can be achieved with the use of AI without any experience in HTML coding.
So...
Thanks for everyone's input. It is truly appreciated. I will share my progress as soon as I can show something that works and then I can expand it from there!
I like the part for the value they add for the incremental amount they spend extra. The price of products in general are so all over the show as well as quality, but somewhere I would like to give people an idea of this will be your battery size and this will be your inveter size. Without...
At this stage no daughters yet:ROFLMAO:. I can add those yes (your 3 suggestions:) ). They are however quite difficult items to factor in for battery sizing, but would make the calculation much more conservative if you go with their rated power as the oven, washing machine and the tumble dryer...
I fully agree with your advice. We have been in the battery and solar industry for quite a while and more often than not, people want to expand their AC capacity in the future. Buy once and save time and effort in the future.
I agree with your suggestion and it is a valid solution if you are looking at the total house consumption, but many people in SA can only afford a very small system to power the most basic things like a TV, Wi-Fi, and a couple of LED lights. So I wish to build on this conservative tool to give...
The idea so far is to list the following appliances:
LED Light, Fridge, Freezer, TV, Decoder, Sound System, Wi-Fi, Laptop, Desktop, Water Pump, Microwave, Air Fryer, Kettle, Hair Dryer, Heater, Aircon, Geyser, and also a custom appliance.
Good day! I am trying to build an easy-to-use online battery and inverter sizing calculator for people in South Africa, or anywhere in the world to use. With load-shedding in South Africa, many people want some solution to the power outages (rolling blackouts) and people get all sorts of advice...
