Home Energy Workspace

What you get

• A best-fit strategy for the problem you picked: battery, standby or portable generator, portable power station, solar, a hybrid, efficiency first, or doing nothing for now.
• The reason behind it, in plain language: what drives the size of the system, and what would change the answer.
• A persistent home model: edit appliances, build a system and simulate outages with live feedback.
• Independent scenarios: compare battery, solar and generator configurations without losing your starting plan.
• SentryVolt Confidence: what we know, what we are estimating, and what would sharpen the result.
• Questions to ask your installer, written for the system the plan recommends.

What it is not

It is not a quote, an engineering design or an electrical inspection, and it does not send your details to installers. Your answers are stored in your browser on this device so you can come back to them, and so the other tools can reuse them. Estimates use typical values where you did not supply your own, and every one of those is labeled. See assumptions and sources.
