Have you ever wondered how many watts you need? You might be considering solar panels, or you might just be shopping for an emergency generator. Either way it is important you know how many watts you need. An accurate way to see your usage is by looking at your power bill. But what if you don't want or need to replace ALL the energy you use. For example, your usage would likely be less during an emergency or power outage. I'm sure you could go without the microwave and clothes dryer for a day or two.
These were the questions I had, and I couldn't find a place to answer my questions easily. I did find some resources including Generac.com. This gave me a general idea how many watts I might need, but required I wrote everything down and changes would require... AN ERASER! So I decided to create my own worksheet to share with you guys.
The file is an Excel file, so you will need some way to open it. I have protected cells to keep you from destroying it. However, you can edit it if you know what you are doing. All blue text can be edited. Make sure to keep an eye out for hidden notes to give you pointers on how to use the worksheet. It should give you a decent idea of what size generator you need to buy. I am open to ideas to make it better, so feel free to leave a comment below and let me know what you think.
