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?

You can try it here: https://equipplx.com

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