"Good sun" means hours near the panels' rating; cloud, heat and panel angle lower it. Panels must also fit the station's voltage window, which the calculator checks. The 75% derate is our assumption, explained in the methodology.

Yes. PECRON E2400LFP runs a van-life day with Starlink and solar for about 33 h. calculated from maker specs, .

Goal: 24 h. Hours use maker inverter efficiency where published, otherwise the 0.85 estimate, and leave out idle draw the maker doesn't publish. Stations shown out of stock or with availability not shown are skipped. How we pick.
