Re: [RE-wrenches] Reactive Power

Hi Drake, 25W should be the draw from the batteries after accounting for inverter efficiency. Note that the low power factor will reduce the effective inverter efficiency, since the inverter still has 49VA of reactive power causing losses. For a small switching power supply like the laptop's, th

Re: [RE-wrenches] Reactive Power

The 25 W would be used to size the batteries, 49 VA would be used to size the inverter. Good luck, Will -- *Will White* Curriculum Developer e: w...@solarenergy.org w: www.solarenergy.org p: 802-272-3092 NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professional # 093006-34 *FACT: If we covered 0.33% of
