A question for people who have emergency back-up solar generators:

How did you calculate what size to get?

This is far outside my experience, I'm keen to learn from people who know their (solar) onions.

*As ever, I'm only looking for A) answers to what I asked, B) from the people I specified. Whatabboutery and second-guessing are not helpful or welcome. Thank you for your reading comprehension. xo

@ShaulaEvans I measured how many solar panels I could fit on the roof (40 panels), checked what the highest power I could buy at the time was (410 Wp), dimensioned the inverters accordingly (5kW + 10 kW hybrid), measured my baseline load (200 W) and got two days worth of battery (9.6 kW).
