A Step-by-Step Guide to Your Home Energy Audit

Follow these five simple steps to get a clear picture of your daily energy requirements.

Step 1: List All Your Appliances

Make a comprehensive list of every device you want to power with your solar system, from fridges and TVs to lights and pumps.

Step 2: Find the Wattage of Each Appliance

Every device has a power rating in Watts (W), usually found on a sticker. Use our reference table below for typical wattages.

Step 3: Estimate Daily Usage in Hours

For each appliance, estimate how many hours it runs per day (e.g., a TV for 5 hours, a fridge compressor for 8 hours total).

Step 4: Calculate Daily Energy Use (Watt-hours)

Multiply the Wattage by the hours of use for each appliance to get its daily consumption in Watt-hours (Wh).

Step 5: Get Your Grand Total

Add up the Watt-hours for all appliances to get your total daily energy need. Divide by 1,000 to get the kilowatt-hours (kWh) required.
