Calculators
Runtime calculator
How long will your power station run a fridge, CPAP, sump pump or anything else? Checks surge too.
What size do I need?
List what you want to power and for how long. Get the models that can handle it, smallest first.
Solar charging calculator
Charging time from your panels, plus a wiring check for voltage and current limits.
Real-world runtime simulator
Spec-sheet math vs a simulation that adds inverter idle draw and cold weather. Simulated, not tested.
Generator vs power station
What each costs over the years in price, gas or electricity and upkeep, and what each needs for a long outage.
