Your guide to smart, optimal, self-sufficient energy.
When sizing a solar system, whether it’s a grid-tied with net metering or an off-grid setup with batteries, there are two crucial questions to address: How much energy (kWh) are you looking to offset? How much sunlight will be available…
The solar power needed to operate an AC or heat pump primarily depends on two key factors: The energy consumption of the unit: This is measured in Watt-hours (Wh) or more commonly, kilowatt-hours (kWh). It represents the electricity usage of…
The amount of solar power needed to run an air conditioner will mainly depend on the energy consumption of the AC unit. This energy usage depends on the specific AC model, its cooling capacity, its efficiency, and other operating conditions such…
The amount of solar power needed to run an air conditioner will mainly depend on 2 factors: Daily Energy Consumption: This is measured in Watt-hours (Wh) or kiloWatt-hours (kWh), indicating the electricity usage of your air conditioner and any additional…
In this article, my goal is to offer a straightforward explanation of how RV air conditioners consume electricity. To achieve this, I’ll start by clarifying the different aspects of your RV AC’s electricity use, specifically its Power Usage (measured in…
Compared to other types of air conditioners, such as window AC units and ducted air conditioners, mini-splits are pretty energy-efficient, in the sense that they use less power (kW) and consume less energy (kWh) to perform the same amount of…
In this article, I discuss the different aspects of the electricity consumption of 10000 BTU air conditioners, such as their Energy Consumption (in Watt-hours), how much it actually costs to run a unit of this size, their Power Usage (in…
In this article, I discuss the electricity usage of portable air conditioners, specifically, their Power Usage (measured in Watts), their Energy Consumption (measured in kWh), and their Amp Draw (measured in Amps). Whether you’re trying to size equipment that’ll run…
The electricity usage of an air conditioner can be broken down into two main aspects: Energy Consumption (measured in kWh) and Power Usage (measured in Watts). While energy consumption represents the quantity of electricity used over time, power usage represents…
When it comes to understanding the electricity usage of a window air conditioner, it’s essential to grasp the concept of Electrical Energy. Electrical energy is the unit of measurement that determines your monthly electricity bill. For example, In the United…
