I just realised I forgot to include the losses we experience because charging the lead-acid battery isn't 100% efficient.
It's hard to put a value on this as some of our loads are applied during the day when they can run directly from the solar cell with no (little) efficiency loss.
Lets take a guestimate of 70%
So our 44.4Wh/day of load needs ~63Wh/day of solar
