How much electricity does an American home use? In 2017, the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential utility customer was 10,399 kilowatt-hours (kWh), an average of 867 kWh per month [1]. If one of these ecoqubz models only needs a reasonably expected 50% of those kilo-Watts, then, for example, a southern facing, 32° roof mounted, array of twelve standard 300 Watt modules, with average performance losses, in Peachtree City GA would meet those needs. Using the calculator provided by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), 5,230 kWh would be produced anually.
You can use the resources here to plan the custom solar energy collection system for your ecoqubz tiny home. Begin by calculating the amount of power you need on an annual basis. Refer to the Sheridan Electric Cooperative Energy Use Chart, the Appliance Energy Calculator, and the Annual Power Consumption of ecoqubz Models spreadsheet (it's posted below, but the data for standard ecoqubz lighting, HVAC, and appliances has not yet been posted).
