Frequently asked questions

How much solar does a student lodge need?

Each room typically uses 150W to 250W in the evening. A 12-room lodge often needs about 10kVA with 15kWh or more of lithium and 10 or more panels.

How do I stop students from overloading the solar?

Give each room its own breaker sized for light loads, ban hot plates and heaters, and allow ironing only in daytime.
