How does the Sizing Tool recommend products?

The sizing tool recommends products based on the power profile that your custoemrs provide to you. The Residential sizing tool is a sales and marketing tool, not an engineering tool. As such it simply aggregates all power needs submitted to determine the appropirate reccomendation. The tool assumes all appliances will be running at once and calculates max load. As it is unlikely that all applicances will be running at once the dealer will use his or her expertise to reccomend the best genset based on the sizing report.
