Analyzing Your Loads

Performing a detailed load analysis is critical to sizing your renewable energy system. A load analysis is a measure of your daily energy needs. To conduct a load analysis, list all of your daily energy loads. A load includes anything that uses electricity from your power source, such as lights, heating and air conditioning, televisions, radios, and small and major appliances. Some loads use electricity all the time, such as refrigerators, whereas others use electricity less often, like power tools. To determine your total energy consumption, multiply the wattage of the appliance by the number of hours it is used in a day. Some appliances do not give the wattage, so you may have to calculate the wattage by multiplying the amperes times the volts. (Information about wattage, amperage, and voltage can be found on a sticker or metal plate attached to the appliance itself or on a tag attached to the electric cord.) After adding the totals for each appliance, you can decide what power output you need for your renewable energy system.
