- Prevent over-voltage issues
- Design efficient solar panel strings
2. Solar Voc / Vmp Calculator
Open-circuit voltage (Voc) and maximum power voltage (Vmp) are critical values for PV modules. Our Voc/Vmp calculator instantly provides these values based on your solar panel specifications, making it easy to size systems and ensure safe operation.
👉 Useful for:
- Solar engineers & system designers
- Students learning PV basics
- Checking voltage ranges before installation
3. Power Output (Watts) Calculato
Want to know how much power your solar panels will produce? Enter your panel rating, sunlight hours, and system efficiency to calculate the expected wattage output.
👉 Perfect for:
- Homeowners estimating daily/monthly solar generation
- Off-grid system planning
- Comparing different panel setups
4. Solar Tilt Angle Calculator
Panel tilt angle directly affects solar energy production. Our tilt angle calculator helps you find the best angle for maximum efficiency based on your location and season.
👉 Features:
- Works worldwide (latitude-based calculation)
- Seasonal adjustment (summer/winter)
- Improves energy yield year-round
5. Solar Wire Size Calculator
Incorrect wire size leads to power loss and safety risks. This calculator helps you select the right wire gauge based on current, distance, and system voltage.
