The first step in the design process is evaluating
the potential at your site for generating power with renewable resources,
and determining which source of renewable energy (PV, Wind and/or Hydro)
is the most abundant at your location. Sundance suggests a professional
Site Analysis.
Use the Load Worksheet to calculate
your daily household power consumption in order to determine the electrical
demand that your system will be sized to generate. Evaluate reducing your
power consumption if necessary. Sundance suggests a professional Load
Analysis. » Download

The size of the Solar Array, Wind Generator,
and/or Hydro Turbine is determined by the Load Analysis and the Load Correction
Factor (in order to compensate for efficiency losses in the system). Sundance
suggests a professional System Sizing.
The size of the Battery Bank is determined
by the Load Analysis, as well as the number of days of autonomy that are
required to reserve power in periods of inclement weather when the resource
is not available for charging.

Finally, consider the environmental impacts
of your design, the financial commitment necessary to create your vision,
and Financial Incentives available to you.
