In theory to calculate the energy it can supply to the battery you multiply watts of the solar panel by the hours exposed to sunshine.
Solar panel formula battery.
I want to maintain the 70 c temperature of 50 liters approx water using 500 w dc heater for 24 7.
The power generation rating of a solar panel is also given in watts.
Using the formula p v a then we have 250w 12v 20a.
1 000 watt hours 5 hours sunlight 200 watt solar panel.
I have seen the excel sheet you have prepared for design of solar panel inverter and battery bank and it is awesome.
For example a 200ah 12v battery requires a minimum 20a solar charge controller and a 250w solar panel to generate close to 20a.
So anyways these are the formula taken from various parts of the site please verify if they are correct or show me where i can tweak without getting ridiculously detailed this is a guideline.
However due to various loss factors solar panels rarely operate the their maximum rated power so i would recommend a 300w panel or 2 x 150w panels in this example.
Once the size of your battery bank and solar panel has been gotten the process of determining the type of charge controller to use is pretty straightforward.
All that is required is to determine the controller by making use of the formula.
The final part to sizing your solar system is the solar panels.
And if you want to continue with your existing inverter then you can buy smarten 24v 50amp.
So at 6 65 amps for 8 hours a 120w solar panel can potentially deliver 53 2ah of chargeback into our battery 6 65amps x 8hours 53 2ah.

220 w panel 80 275w panel needed to recharge the 50 dod in 6 hours 1 day taking panel inefficiencies into account.
If the selected battery is rated at 12v in that case.
Here my application is little different on solar water heater.
