How we calculate runtime

A transparent explanation of battery, power and solar estimates.

01

Equipment consumption

Daily energy is calculated from power, operating time, quantity and realistic duty cycle. Refrigerators, pumps and compressors are not treated as permanently running loads.

02

Required battery and reserve

Usable energy, conversion losses and a safety margin are included so that a solution that looks sufficient on paper is not operating at its limit.

03

Power, peaks and solar charging

Continuous power, start-up peaks and solar production are calculated separately. Runtime is an estimate because temperature, efficiency, usage and solar conditions vary.

Our standard

Our calculations are conservative and explainable: assumptions, reserves and data quality remain visible so the user can understand the result.
