BATTERY CALCULATIONS
For a 12-Volt inverter system, each 100 Watts of the inverter load requires approximately 10 DC Amps from the battery
For a 24-Volt inverter system, each 200 Watts of the inverter load requires approximately 10 DC Amps from the battery

Total Load in Watts 1145.32

Amps for 12V Battery in Amperes 114.53

Amps for 24V Battery in Amperes 57.27

With 3 hours of back up AH capacity of battery

For 12V battery AH capacity 343.60

For 24V battery AH capacity 171.80
Following table gives battery capacity and hours of discharge
Battery Capacity Hours of Discharge Chart indicates that for 3 hrs of discharge rate battery has only 70% capacity
90.00 10.00 Therefore battery capacity is

87.00 8.00 For 12V battery 490.85 AH

83.00 6.00 For 24V battery 245.43 AH
80.00 5.00
70.00 3.00 Therefore for 490.85AH capacity 5 nos of 105AH,12V batteries shall be required and for 245.43AH
60.00 2.00 capacity 3 Nos of 105AH,24V batteries shall be required
50.00 1.00
