Energy-to-compute planner
Estimate what your generation can realistically power
Move the sliders to see how solar size, node load, runtime and allocation change coverage and grid requirement. Everything updates instantly, and nothing here is a guarantee.
Your inputs
Typical UK and northern Europe range is 800–1,000 kWh per kWp.
The rest of your generation stays with existing site loads or export.

Suggested operating model
Solar-first batch
Allocated generation covers most of the demand within a short daily window, so batch workloads can be scheduled into strong generation periods.
These figures are planning estimates from simplified annual averages. They ignore seasonality, shading, inverter and battery losses, and tariff detail. Any grid-connected work must be designed and commissioned by a qualified professional.
