Sizing calculator

What fits your boat, and what it costs to run.

Same dataset as the table, plus your crew and your power. DC systems must fit inside the daily energy you can spare; AC systems need a generator or shore power; petrol needs fuel.

Run time assumes the midpoint of the manufacturer’s output range. Wh/day is your daily litres multiplied by the system’s Wh per litre, shown against the energy you said you can spare. A day’s water in under two hours is comfortable; over six is a system you will resent. AC systems shown against battery energy require an inverter sized for continuous load and motor-start surge; conversion losses are not included. Rows marked nameplate estimate use published component ratings rather than measured total draw.
