Estimate daily electricity use by listing common loads, their wattage, runtime, and quantity. Use the result as a planning input for other tools.
Start with common small-home loads, then adjust, remove, or add items to match your project.

Each load is estimated with watts × hours per day × quantity ÷ 1,000 to produce daily kWh. Connected load is the sum of the listed wattage multiplied by quantity.
Real appliances cycle on and off and may draw different power while starting, operating, or idling. Replace the starter values with measured or manufacturer-provided information when you have it.
These are planning candidates compared with the calculator's listed connected load. They are not definitive inverter-sizing recommendations.
A 3000W pure sine wave inverter for 12V battery systems where a standalone DC-to-AC inverter fits the project.
Best for: Smaller 12V-class systems that need up to about 3kW of continuous AC output and compatible battery-side wiring.
1 unit≈ 3,000 W continuous outputCloser output fit
A 6kW all-in-one off-grid inverter/charger for 48V systems with substantial solar input and expansion capability.
Best for: Larger off-grid tiny homes, cabins, and small buildings where a 48V split-phase architecture fits.
1 unit≈ 6,000 W continuous outputMore capacity than the listed load
