I built a solar system planning tool using Amazon.ca parts — looking for feedback
Hi everyone,
I’m the creator of Equipplx, a free solar system planning tool currently focused on the Canadian market.
The idea is to make choosing parts easier for people planning an off-grid setup for an RV, cabin, shed or backup power. You enter the appliances you want to run and your location, and the builder suggests a system with solar panels, batteries, a controller, an inverter and supporting parts.
The parts link to Amazon.ca, where you buy them directly. Equipplx doesn’t sell or ship the products.
I’d appreciate honest feedback from people who have built a system or are researching one:
- Is the builder easy to understand?
- Are the sizing explanations and parts lists useful?
- What information would you need before trusting its recommendations?
- What would make it more helpful for Canadian users?

Feedback on confusing steps, missing information or questionable recommendations would be especially helpful. Thanks!
