This also works for 'dwellers building relatively minimal solar power systems. | This also works for 'dwellers building relatively minimal solar power systems where one is not using all the available roofspace for panels. |

In **'dweller solar configurations** the order of sizing calculations may be different due to space limitations. Few of us will be able to fit all the solar panels we need to run every [[electrical:12v:loads|load]] on our wishlist. In this case we size our systems for the maximum amount of panels we can fit in the space allowed. This might be what fits in open space on our roof, or how much portable panel we are willing to deploy. | In **'dweller solar configurations** the order of sizing calculations may be different due to space limitations.
