Immortals Solar is your trusted partner in renewable investments, offering expertise in energy management and efficiency.
Understanding House Load
House load refers to the total power consumption of all electrical appliances and equipment in your home. It’s measured in watts (W) or kilowatts (kW) and helps determine the capacity of your electrical system, including inverters, batteries, and solar panels.
Examples of Appliances and Equipment
- Fan: A typical ceiling fan consumes around 75-100 watts (W) per hour.
- Lights: LED bulbs consume approximately 7-10 watts (W) per hour, while incandescent bulbs can consume much more.
- TV: LED TVs consume varying amounts based on size and usage, ranging from 50 watts (W) for smaller TVs to over 200 watts (W) for larger ones.
- Fridge: A refrigerator can consume 100-800 watts (W) per hour, depending on size, age, and efficiency.
- AC: Air conditioners can range from 500 watts (W) for smaller units to 2000 watts (W) or more for larger ones.
- Geyser: Electric water heaters (geysers) consume significant power, ranging from 1000 watts (W) for smaller units to 4000 watts (W) or more for larger ones.
Calculating House Load
- List Appliances: Make a list of all appliances and equipment in your home along with their power ratings (in watts or kilowatts).
- Calculate Usage: Estimate the average daily usage time for each appliance (in hours).
- Multiply: Multiply the power rating of each appliance by its usage time to get the daily energy consumption in watt-hours (Wh) or kilowatt-hours (kWh).
- Total Load: Add up the energy consumption of all appliances to determine the total daily house load.
