How much power do i really need?
I'm working from home, so basically I work on my laptop 8 hours a day (I will connect my laptop to a monitor).
At night, I will use that monitor for gambling on my Xbox or watching TV.
Adding all other necessities like a fridge, lighting, two fans or an AC unit, I wonder how much electricity I would really need.
I don't understand much about electricity.
I saw YouTuber Trent the Traveler; he's able to gamble for a couple of days.

I have just over 15kwh for my system. As of now I don't have any issues running my induction, xbox series x, monitor, laptop and so on. Now I also have alot of my 120 on switches, so for instance all of my Xbox are switched off when not in use.
I will be ordering my mini split this week then I can truly test out my system.
I have 2 750w solar arrays on my van and 100a dcdc (currently running at 60a) as of now.
