I've put together a spreadsheet for the power consumption/generation on the boat I'm building and would appreciate anyone interested to have a look for any glaring errors, bad assumptions, etc.

I can't quite get my head around how things will change going from a live aboard sailboat where I had 160 watts of Solar and 150AH alternator charging but only ran the donk coming in and departing anchorages and going to a twin outboard powered catamaran with smaller alternators but which I assume will be run a lot more.

Powercat:
2X60HP Outboards with 19A alternators
2X100W Mono Solar Panels on roof
Minimum Electronics
All LED lighting
Evaporator-type fridge with BD30 compressor

All comments appreciated,
Steve
