This is what you use on an average day
The Wh result adds up the estimated consumption of the selected appliances. See this as a practical indication, not an exact measurement.

What does your camper consume in a day?
Select the appliances you want to use on the road. This will give you an initial indication of how much energy your motorhome needs daily.
01
Your usage
From devices to the right energy system.
Energy consumption in a campervan is often underestimated. Especially devices that heat, cool, or operate on 230V consume relatively a lot of energy.
Focus on selecting the devices you regularly use when you're not connected to shore power.

Based on your calculation, Faraday can provide an initial indication of battery capacity, solar panels, or a complete system.
From result to insight
What does this mean for your camper?
With your daily consumption, you can look further into two important questions: how long do you want to be able to stay without mains power and how much energy can you replenish in the meantime?
How long do you want to stay without recharging?
If you want to stay independent or off-grid for longer, you need more energy storage. As a first guideline: daily consumption × number of days off-grid. The Ah value at 12 V is only a conversion, not automatic battery advice; recharging in the meantime also counts.
How much energy can you replenish?
Solar panels, charging while driving and shore power determine how much energy you can replenish during the day or trip. The season and way of traveling also play a role. Daily consumption and required solar panel capacity are therefore not one-to-one the same.
Are you building a completely new system?
Compare your daily consumption with the energy storage in Wh
The Explorer is a pre-mounted 24V installation board for campers. The accompanying battery has a capacity of 100 Ah at 24 V, i.e., approximately 2,560 Wh energy storage.
With a daily consumption of around 1,200 Wh, Explorer can therefore be a logical starting point, especially when you replenish the battery in the meantime with solar energy or charging while driving.
When comparing, first look at the energy storage in Wh. Then check whether the inverter capacity and charging options also match your appliances and way of traveling.
Personalized approach
From estimate to energy balance
The online calculator provides an initial estimate. During a consultation, we will assess your actual consumption and charging options more accurately. This creates an energy balance that allows us to determine which system configuration and components are right for your camper.
01
Your usage as a starting point
We look at your appliances, duration of use, desired autonomy, and travel style.
02
Storage and charging in combination
We determine how much energy storage you need and how much you can replenish via solar panels, while driving, and via shore power.
03
From results to components
We translate the energy balance into a suitable combination of battery, chargers, solar panels, inverter, and other required components.
