Top Power Backup Solutions for 1BHK, 2BHK and 3BHK Homes
Calculating Your Solar Power Backup Solution
When it comes to calculating your power requirements for your home, the size of your apartment is an essential factor to consider.
Generally, it is said that the larger the apartment, the higher the power requirements. Well, we can’t deny that.
To make things simple, let’s consider a scenario where we have a fixed array of devices that require powering up for each house size. To calculate the exact power requirement for your home, you can use the following formula:
Power Requirement (Watts) = Total Wattage of all Appliances x Total Number of Hours of Usage
For example, if we calculate for 1BHK house with
- Three CFL lights = 15 watts each
- LED TV = 60 watts each
- Two Tubelight – 36 watts
Therefore, the power requirement for 1BHK house will be = 45 + 60 + 72 = 177 watts
When you’re in the market to choose the right solar power backup, it will involve understanding the VA rating of the device. VA rating, or voltage ampere rating, represents the voltage and current output by an inverter.
In an ideal world, the power delivered by the inverter should be the same as the power consumed by your appliances, resulting in 100% efficiency. However, achieving this level of efficiency is impractical, and the power factor of an inverter typically ranges from 60-80% or 0.6-0.8.
To determine the VA rating, you need to divide the power requirement by the power factor of the inverter. For instance, if the power factor is 0.7, you can calculate the VA rating using this formula.
The VA rating for a 1BHK house will be – 177/0.7 = 252 VA
For a 252VA power requirement, you can use our:
