Amperly
Solar calculator

A solar system that works. Wiring included.

Size panels, battery and controller. Check the parts fit before you buy. For a camper van, an off-grid cabin, a rooftop with a battery or a balcony plant.

Coming soon toGoogle Play Android first. iPhone later.

// before you buy

Catch the wrong part before you buy it.

A panel, a controller and a battery can each be fine on their own and still not work together. Amperly checks the combination.

01Panel open-circuit voltage in the cold against the controller limit
02Panel voltage in the heat: is it still high enough for the controller to charge
03Panel short-circuit current and charge current against the controller rating
04Battery charge, discharge and peak current against its datasheet
05Inverter power and the startup surge of a fridge or a pump
06Fuse and wire size chosen together, with voltage drop
07LiFePO4 batteries that must not be charged below freezing
08Battery bank wiring in series and parallel
ErrorCharge current 41.7 A exceeds the controller (30 A). Choose a bigger controller or split the array.
WarningAt −26 °C a LiFePO4 battery must not be charged without heating.
Checks passedFor the values entered.

Messages from the camper van example in the screenshots. If a datasheet value is missing, Amperly says “not checked”. It does not guess.

Off-grid result with one problem: the charge current exceeds the controller rating

// features

From what you run to the parts list.

01

Off-grid sizing

List what you run, like a fridge, lights and a laptop. Amperly sizes the panels, battery bank, charge controller, inverter and wire size.

02

Designed for the dark month

The system is sized for the darkest month you actually use it, not for the yearly average.

03

Yield for grid-tied setups

For a balcony plant or a rooftop with a battery you see the yield per year, the saving and the payback.

04

See how every number was made

Every result comes with its math. You see where each voltage, current and wire size comes from.

05

Your own components

Add the panels, batteries and controllers you are looking at, with their datasheet values, and check them against each other.

06

Saved systems

The van, the cabin, the house. Each saved system shows whether its checks passed. Systems are stored only on your phone.

// real sun data

Sun data for your place, not a rule of thumb.

Type a town, pick the panel tilt and the direction it faces. Amperly loads monthly irradiation and temperatures for that spot.

Where the numbers come from
PVGIS
Monthly irradiation, from the service run by the European Commission
NASA POWER
Temperatures for the cold and heat voltage checks
Your phone
Only rounded coordinates leave it. The calculation itself runs offline.

// a look inside

Six screens, one system.

// free and pro

The checks are free. Pro is paid once.

Every check and warning is in the free version. There is no paywall in front of a problem with your wiring.

  • Every check and warning
  • Sun data from PVGIS and NASA POWER
  • How every number was made
  • 1 saved system
  • 10 components of your own

Amperly Pro

One-time purchase · no subscription

  • Unlimited systems and components
  • A PDF report with a shopping list
  • All three cable runs

Pro is a one-time purchase that never renews; the store shows the price for your country. See the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Amperly does not replace an electrician. Have a qualified person check the wiring before you connect anything.

// questions

The short version.

When can I get it?

Amperly is coming to Google Play first. The iPhone version follows after that.

What if my datasheet is missing a value?

Then that check shows “not checked”. Amperly does not fill the gap with a guess.

Do I need an account or a signal?

No account. The calculation runs offline and your systems stay on your phone. Loading sun data for a new place needs a connection, and only rounded coordinates are sent. Details in the Privacy Policy.

Is Pro a subscription?

No. Pro is a one-time purchase. The checks and warnings stay free either way.
