With a 100 watt solar panel, you could use one 85Ah 12V battery. But your best option would be to use one 100Ah 12V battery. If you want to make your battery last long you should avoid letting the battery reach 50% discharge.
For a 1000W solar panel, a 30A 48V Solar Charge Controller is a good option, as it matches the 1000W system's 22 Amps (1000W / 48V) with a 25% safety margin.
A typical 1000W solar panel can provide 5,000 to 12,000 watts of power to your battery bank. In practice, you can expect to receive only fifty to seventy percent of this amount, since the sun is only directly over the panels one hour a day and at an angle for the rest of the day.
A Solar Panel and Battery Sizing Calculator is an invaluable tool designed to help you determine the optimal size of solar panels and batteries required to meet your energy needs. By inputting specific details about your energy consumption, this calculator provides tailored insights into the solar setup that will best suit your requirements.
