MAPPS Design Steps:

1. Calculate your Power Requirements
Determine the Watt-hours per day for all of the equipment you want to power. Consider both continuous and intermittent loads in a 24-hour period. Average over a week if loads change daily. Test the actual power draw of the equipment if you can. For example:  
1.2 Amps X 12 Volts = 14.4 Watts X 24 hr/day = 346 Watt-hr/Day

2. Determine your Solar Insolation Zone
Locate your site on the map below. The map represents average solar energy available in the winter. Available energy increases incrementally from zones 1 through 5.

3. Use the Performance Table to Choose your System
The tables below represent the Watt-hours per day performance of each MAPPS system in the different solar zones. Choose your system voltage, then look down your solar zone column for the value that meets or exceeds your design load Watt-hours. Follow the row to the left for the corresponding prepackaged MAPPS system that will fully power your load requirements.
