Home and Shed Power Planning Workbook

Home & Shed Power Planning Workbook

Seven worksheets with worked answers for planning and looking after power at home and in the shed. This 22-page printable workbook helps you work out your daily energy, choose between a home battery and a power station, read spec sheets, use more of your own solar and keep your system healthy. Clear line sketches throughout show each idea at a glance.

Inside:

- Your daily energy and peak load: the two numbers every other sheet uses

- Home battery or portable power station? Which job you need done, and sizing a station

- Reading battery spec sheets: Wh, usable energy, limits, cycle life and warranty, plus a two-battery comparison

- Choosing an inverter: continuous and surge ratings, types, idle draw and compatibility

- Using more of your own solar: reading your app and moving loads into the solar hours

- Looking after your system: signs of trouble, panel care and a seasonal check log

- Solar battery not charging: a safe, staged check and a service record

- Worked answers for every example, and which free Home & Workshop Solar calculator to use

Written for Australian homeowners and shed owners with solar, or planning it.
