Helpful spreadsheet for solar system sizing

Hi,

Here is a link to the rather special spreadsheet that N8GS has created to help size solar systems!

Very well done spreadsheet overall. Anyone who looks at the cost page is likely to be taken aback with the numbers as they are only representative of this one installation and there are ways to provide as much charging power at a much lower cost.

No idea why a macerator pump and a 32 gal "Blue Boy" are in the calcs. Most charge controllers have cheaper options than the Xantrex and the IOTA is not needed for the solar system and most RV's which will already have a AC to DC inverter on board.
