FIRST, THE BIG PICTURE
What are you planning for?
Choose the closest fit.
MAKE IT YOURS
What should stay on?
Select the essentials you want to cover.
Heating, air conditioning and cooking need a separate energy plan.
SET THE HORIZON
How long should they last?
Pick one period without recharging.
CHOOSE YOUR NEXT MOVE
How would you like to start?
This shapes your next step. Your energy estimate stays based on your essentials.
YOUR ESSENTIAL POWER PLAN
Your essentials. A clearer plan.
Selected essentials only. Heating, cooling, cooking and hot water are not included.
Rated storage, with room for reserve and losses.
Planning range, not a runtime guarantee. Actual appliances and battery performance can fall outside it.
Where the energy goes
Bars compare the higher-use energy estimates.
Check power as well as storage
Wh / kWh tells you how much energy is stored. W tells you how much can run at once.
YOUR NEXT THREE STEPS
The assumptions behind your plan
The appliance ranges are BeamBound planning assumptions, not measurements of your home. Fridge energy uses a daily average; its running watts are higher when the compressor is on.
Method: total appliance Wh = watts × hours, or fridge daily Wh × days. Rated battery Wh = (appliance Wh ÷ 0.90 + inverter idle Wh) ÷ 0.80, rounded up to 100 Wh. The upper end combines the higher-use assumptions.
