Free solar worksheet
A free planning worksheet that turns your solar calculator result into a practical first parts list before you start buying panels, controllers, fuses, and wire.
Use your real rig numbers first so the worksheet starts from your setup, not a generic example.
Open the solar calculatorKeep the result, assumptions, and next checks in one place before you shop or commit.
Download the parts listOnly move to a paid planning file if you need a plan you can reuse, share, or revisit.

The file stays lightweight on purpose: enough structure to capture the parts, assumptions, and checks that matter without forcing every rig into the same plan.
Starter, balanced, and buffer-heavy lanes help you avoid buying either too little solar or a system that does not fit the roof.
Use the checklist before checkout so the smaller support parts do not become the bottleneck.
A short worksheet captures the assumptions that matter when the calculator answer becomes a real parts plan.
How to use it
The worksheet works best after you have a real calculator result. It slows the decision down just enough to catch fit, safety, recovery, and daily-use assumptions before you buy or build.
Use your real appliance loads and sun conditions so the parts list starts from a math target, not a forum guess.
Choose starter, balanced, or buffer-heavy based on roof space, travel style, and tolerance for cloudy-day generator time.
Check controller limits, wire distance, protection devices, mounting clearance, and battery charging rules before buying.
Use this when
You have a daily watt-hour estimate and need to translate it into a buy list.
You are comparing roof solar, portable solar, or a hybrid setup.
You want to check controller, fuse, wire, and battery questions before ordering parts.
Optional follow-up
The download is useful by itself. The matching follow-up path keeps the next few decisions tied to the same planning problem instead of scattering them across tabs, notes, and shopping carts.
