just came across this website with info that looks like it will be helpful for figuring out what my electrical needs will be and how to power this magnificent tiny house.

I don't fully understand the following directions but I think I will soon:
"To figure the watts you use, multiply the volts or each appliance used times the amps - so a 12 volt light that pulls 3 amps will use 36 watts per hour. A 12 volt battery that can supply 100 AH or (12 x 100) 1200 watts and power that 36 watt light for about 20 hours."
