The three checks
Furnace blower on its own, with nothing else plugged in, against the published ratings of the OUPES Guardian 6000 V2.
| Check | Needs | Station has | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Running watts against continuous output | 550 W | 6,000 W | Passes |
| Starting watts against surge rating | 1,200 W | 9,000 W | Passes |
| A full day at 12 h a day | 6,600 Wh | 3,917 Wh usable | Fails |
How long it runs across models
The appliance class spans a range of models. Running time on a full charge at the low, typical and high figure in the data:
| Case | Running watts | Running time |
|---|---|---|
| Low end of the class | 300 W | 13.1 h |
| Typical | 550 W | 7.1 h |
| High end of the class | 875 W | 4.5 h |
Watts vary by model and age. Check the label on your own appliance and enter it for an exact answer.
Keeping up on solar
At 4 peak sun hours, counting 75% of the panel rating: 200 W of panels bring in about 600 Wh a day, 9% of the 6,600 Wh it uses at 12 h a day. 3,600 W of panels bring in about 10,800 Wh a day, more than the 6,600 Wh it uses at 12 h a day, so the station keeps up.
