power

Calculates total daily energy consumption from an appliance list — the critical first step before sizing solar panels or batteries. Enter each appliance with its wattage, hours of daily use, and quantity. Outputs total daily kWh (with configurable safety margin for surge and inrush current), peak simultaneous wattage, and recommended inverter VA rating per NEC 125% continuous load rule. Feeds directly into solar_sizing (daily_kwh) and battery_autonomy (daily_kwh). Essential for residential, RV, cabin, and off-grid system design.
