 Sizing **residential off-grid solar configurations** is relatively easy: calculate power needs in the worst case scenario (December in a particular geographical area)((https://web.archive.org/web/20110906013732/http://www.solarpowerforum.net/forumVB/solar-energy/1793-basic-off-grid-solar-design.html)) and pay for it.
+Sizing **off-grid solar configurations for campers** has many more variables:
   - worst case scenario [[electrical:12v:loads|loads]] (the max loads you will apply in any 24hr period((or at any given time, if you plan to run heavy loads)))

   - whether or not you have access to other forms of charging: [[electrical:shore_power|shore power]], [[electrical:12v:alternator|alternator]], [[electrical:generator|generator]]
   - These factors will tell you size of the system needed.  If the system you need will not physically fit on/in your vehicle, you will have to take [[electrical:solar:sizing#maxxed_system|a different approach]].
