How many kWh does a battery consume a day?

To answer this, you need to know your power consumption rate, how long you run it for, and much reserve you want for rainy days. Let's say you look at your monthly power bill and it says you consume on average 892 kWh in 31 days. So, 892/31/24 = 1.2 kWh/hr Discharging from a battery has inefficiencies, lead around .88 and lithium .96 to .98.

How many kWh of batteries do I Need?

If you want enough power for 3 days, you'd need 30 x 3 = 90 kWh. As discussed in the post above, the power in batteries are rated at a standard temperature, the colder it is the less power they have. So, with batteries expected to be at 40 to supply 10 kWh, with this data you'd multiply by 1.3 to see you would need 13 kWh of batteries.

How much power does a home use per month?

For your reference, the average home in the US uses about 900 kWh per month but can range from 200 up to 2,000 or more. 900 kWh per month equates to about 30 kWh per day. Now that we have a good idea of how much power we’ll use when we’re at the cabin, we need to think about how long we generally stay there.

How much electricity does a Tesla Powerwall use a day?

For this calculation, we used the U.S. average daily household electricity use of 29 kilowatt-hours (kWh). Since the Tesla Powerwall has an energy capacity of 13.5 kWh, we divide 13.5 by 29, which gives us 0.466 days. Multiply that by 24 hours in a day to get 11.04 hours—or roughly 11 hours and 10 minutes.

How many kWh a day do you need for a cabin?

If you can store 40 kWh of power and never use your cabin for more than 2 days at a time, then you should be fine with panels that generate about 10 kWh per day. But if you don’t have that much storage, then you’ll need enough panels to keep up with your 20 kWh per day demand the whole time you’re there.

How much solar power do I Need?

Now that we have a good idea of how much power we’ll use when we’re at the cabin, we need to think about how long we generally stay there. If you use the cabin an average of 2 days per week, then you don’t need as much solar capacity as you would if you use it 6 days per week. That is, assuming you have sufficient power storage.
