Charging recovery

Model the whole charging day, not one source in isolation.

Start with the load and array baseline from the system sizer. Add only the charging paths you can realistically sustain, then see whether they protect critical loads, cover the full day, and leave enough surplus to refill the reserve.

Charging and recovery planner

Can the available charging paths cover the day and refill the reserve?

Combine solar, DC–DC, shore, and generator contributions without hiding the source assumptions, then use only the energy left after daily loads to estimate recovery time.

Planning brief

Carry the coverage gap and recovery window into source verification.

Copy the load boundary, each daily contribution, the resulting balance, and the next check together.

Optional support

Keep practical planning tools available.

If this result made the next decision clearer, an optional contribution helps cover hosting, source reviews, and continued improvements.

Source boundary

DC–DC, shore, and generator entries use delivered charging watts multiplied by realistic daily availability, keeping every contribution inspectable.

Load priority

Critical-load coverage is shown separately from full-load coverage so optional energy does not hide a resilience shortfall.

Recovery rule

Only energy left after the full daily load refills the recovery target; a daily deficit never produces an artificial recovery estimate.
