PowerBasis: A Calculator Bench for Keeping the Lights On
A home-power planning site for estimating generator size, battery runtime, fuel use, solar recharge, electrical loads, and EV charging.
Field notes
PowerBasis organizes home-power planning around a persistent list of selected equipment, carrying those inputs from load sizing into runtime, fuel, solar, comparison, and EV calculations. Its quick-start example combines a 250 W refrigerator, an 18 W Wi-Fi router, and 60 W of LED lighting into a 328 W running load. The site also asks users to set an outage target and replace typical estimates with equipment-label data, while presenting ranges and stated assumptions rather than a single falsely precise answer.
