How To Compare Equipment Using Equipment Check

Equipment Check is a separate comparison engine on the results page. It does not change the stored result; it compares real hardware candidates against the result you already calculated.

What Equipment Check does

It helps answer a practical question: "Does the hardware I found look suitable for this version's requirements?"

What to enter

Enter the battery unit voltage, battery unit Ah or kWh, battery quantity, inverter continuous and surge power, charger current, MPPT charge current, panel watts, panel quantity, panel Vmp, panel Voc, and MPPT PV input power as applicable.

You do not need to fill every field every time. The most useful check is the one that matches the hardware you are actively comparing.

How to read the output

The top summary gives an overall suitability view, then section cards break the comparison down into batteries, inverter, charging, solar controller, and solar panels. Use that output to screen options before you commit time or money, but still validate final compatibility professionally.
