Sense can be beneficial for knowing how big your loads are to get a rough idea of your generator needs, but you do need to calculate your needs separately. Below are only a few reasons.
- Peak watts or aren’t always shown.
- Your panel loads need to be balanced. Sense does not show how balanced your panel is. I wish it did.
- You may want to use load management to reduce the size of the generator.
These are only a few items to consider and sense isn’t designed to answer these questions.
