How many Watts Does a solar panel produce?

Solar panel power output can get confusing fast. Is 400 watts good? 420 watts? Should you opt for the 450-watt panel? Is it worth the extra cost? About 97% of home solar panels installed in 2025 produce between 400 and 460 watts, based on thousands of quotes from the EnergySage Marketplace.

What is solar wattage?

Wattage refers to the amount of electrical power a solar panel can produce under standard test conditions (STC), which simulate a bright sunny day with optimal solar irradiance (1,000 W/m²), a cell temperature of 25°C, and clean panels. In simpler terms, a panel’s wattage rating tells you its maximum power output under ideal conditions.

How much energy does a 400 watt solar panel produce?

A 400-watt panel can generate roughly 1.6–2.5 kWh of energy per day, depending on local sunlight. To cover the average U.S. household’s 900 kWh/month consumption, you typically need 12–18 panels. Output depends on sun hours, roof direction, panel technology, shading, temperature and age.

How much power does a home solar panel produce?

About 97% of home solar panels included in EnergySage quotes today have power output ratings between 400 and 460 watts. The most frequently quoted panels are around 450 watts, so we'll use this as an example.
