If you have a 3000-watt inverter and you’re building a 12-volt system, one big question comes up fast — how many solar panels do you actually need?

A lot of people just try to “match” the inverter size with solar, but that’s not how it works. In this video, I break it down step by step. First, we calculate it the quick way using battery size. Then we go through the correct way — based on real daily energy usage. And at the end, I explain a simple change that can lower your total system cost.

We will cover:
How much current a 3000W inverter pulls at 12 volts
How many lithium batteries are required
How to calculate total watt hours
How many solar panels are needed with three sun hours
Why system voltage (12V vs 24V vs 48V) changes everything

If you’re planning an off-grid cabin, van build, RV setup, or small home solar system, this will help you avoid oversizing and wasting money.

Always design your solar system around daily energy consumption — not just inverter power.
