Kevin is right on about this too. I just passed on a project, where the customer insisted they needed a 3 Kw array, but wouldn't share the load calculations (and they expected a 5 yr warranty!) I knew if we were having trouble communicating now, it would only get ugly when they were sitting in the dark later.

If a client does not want to do this process, I generally pass on the job. From experience the client who is unwilling to do proper load analysis is the first to threaten legal when it doesn't work. Many times years later they come back with tail between legs for help and more willing to follow the process.

    other"micro" loads

    What do you do for very small off-grid systems that people want
    for specific equipment? Do you have a "go-to" configuration, or do
    you size and design everything custom?

    For example, I frequently get, "I want to run cameras at a remote
    site and the total requirement is 100W, 24 hours a day."

    It's not economical to reinvent the wheel every time.
