PV Power
Solar Power Calculator for Africa
Matt Berg, a longtime friend of Inveneo, has published his off-grid solar calculator for public use. Its an excel-based toolkit to help with cost and design estimates when you are in the planning stages:
- Solar Toolkit - excel based solar calculator. Last updated 05.03.09. Please see instructions for proper usage.
- Solar Radiation Chart - useful for estimating peak solar of your location (# hours of day of strong sunlight)
- Solar Radiation Chart 2 - includes optimal PV inclination angles for facing the sun
Note that Matt says this is NOT intended to replace getting a detailed power estimate from a local solar expert who can best take in account the local conditions.
