Step 2.a) Multiply daily consumption with losses (as a factor) = 3152Wh x 1,27 = 4003Wh Daily Storage required
Step 2.b) Divide Daily storage by DC voltage = 4003Wh / 48V = 83Ah of Average Daily Ah needed
Step 2.c) Adjust to depth of discharge = 83Ah / 0,5 = 166Ah Sub Total of storage required

Step 2.d) Make provision for rainy days =166Ah x 2 days = 332Ah Total Storage required
The battery bank needs to be 48V 332Ah according to our calculations.
Step 2.e) Select battery to match both 48V and 332Ah as close as possible.

Stepscon<nuedStep 3.a) Calculate Power required to charge batteries
Power = Volts x Amps - Where: Volts = The battery’s absorption voltage Amps = Maximum Current the battery bank can handle
This information will be found in your inverter datasheet or charge controller datasheet or charge controller rating – Depending on what is being used to charge the batteries.
The rate of charge from the charge controller and AC charger has to be balanced with rate at which the battery can accept charge. See the next slide. . . . .
