Solar System for Tiny House

Sometimes solar panels are obstructed by trees or other buildings which is not ideal.

Solar panels often come with frames or mounts that allow you to adjust the angle of the panels. This is useful because the ideal angle for optimal electricity production varies depending on the season.

This is an essential part for getting your solar installation right. You need to determine your average daily energy need. Your solar system will then be designed to fulfill this need. This step may take a while but it is crucial. Below is a short video that explains how to do this.

You can use this spreadsheet for your calculations.

Please insert your result (total daily energy need in Wh) below:

In order to estimate the amount of your daily sun hours, and ideal solar panel angle, we need an approximate location of your tiny house. Enter the latitude and longitude separated by a comma (e.g., 41.4036, 2.1744). Here is a short video about how to obtain lat and lon geo coordinates from Google Maps.
