Cable Voltage Drop

DC, single-phase and three-phase. Temperature corrected, copper or aluminium, parallel runs, reverse sizing.

Live

Solar String Configurator

String length vs the inverter MPPT window — cold-morning Voc ceiling and hot-day Vmp floor.

Soon

Battery Bank Sizer

Capacity from daily load and autonomy days, with depth-of-discharge derating.

Soon

PV Energy Yield

Annual kWh from location, tilt, azimuth and array size.

Soon

Conductor Size Converter

AWG, kcmil and mm², with resistance per kilometre.

Soon

Power Loss & Cost

What cable losses actually cost you per year.

Why these show their formulas

Most online calculators give you a number and nothing else. If you are signing off a design, that is not good enough — you need to know what was assumed. Every calculator here publishes the formula, the constants, and the cases where it stops being accurate.

Where a wiring code governs the answer, we say so and stay out of it. These tools handle the physics; the code compliance is yours to confirm.
