You're planning a high-capacity solar power system with: 50kW Raion inverter 60kWh BYD lithium battery 84 × 590W solar panels (total 49.56kW solar array) Appliances: 3 Fridges 8 Freezers 4 TVs Washing Machine Dishwasher Lights Booster Pump 2 Air Conditioners 1. Solar Power Generation Total solar capacity = 84 × 590W = 49.56kW Daily solar energy production (assuming 5 peak sun hours) = 49.56kW × 5h = ~247.8kWh/day 2. Estimated Daily Energy Consumption Appliance Power (W) Estimated Daily Use (kWh) 3 Fridges 450W ~4.5kWh 8 Freezers 1200W ~12kWh 4 TVs 400W ~2kWh Lights (LED) 500W ~5kWh Booster Pump 500W ~1kWh Washing Machine 1000W ~2kWh per cycle Dishwasher 1500W ~2kWh per cycle 2 Air Conditioners 5,000W ~40kWh (varies) Total Estimated Daily Usage: ~70–90kWh (depends on A/C usage) 3. Battery Storage & Backup 60kWh BYD battery can fully power loads for ~15 hours without solar. If solar is unavailable, the battery won't last 24 hours if ACs are running continuously. Solution: Run ACs only during sunlight hours and use stored power for essentials at night. 4. Inverter Capacity (50kW Raion) ✅ Enough power to run everything at once! With a 50kW inverter, you can power all appliances, including ACs, at the same time. Peak loads (~15-20kW at a time) are well within inverter limits. Is This System Sufficient? ✅ Yes, it is! Your solar system produces ~247kWh/day, which is far more than your estimated usage (~90kWh). This ensures: Daytime loads run directly on solar power. Excess solar power fully charges the 60kWh battery. Battery backup provides power at night
