CHART INSTRUCTIONS
The Design Ambient Temperature is the average weekly temperature during the warmest week of the
year. If during the warmest week, the daily high is 38C and the daily low is 22C, then the design
ambient is 30C.
Example: 5.8 cu.ft. refrigerator at 30C = 215 watt-hour/day
In a 5 sun-hr/day region, at least a 84 Watt panel (rated)
and a 143 amp-hr battery (12 V) are required.
j

Battery Sized for 4 days of reserve power (50% depth of discharge).

To Convert Celsius to Farenheit, multiply by 9, divide by 5 and add 32 degrees.
