Technical FAQs 4

What size solar panels do I Need?

Most residential panels range between 250 to 400 watts. Understanding the efficiency and wattage of the panels you plan to use is essential for estimating your system’s total output. To determine the size of the solar system you need, use the following formula: Example:

How many kW solar panels do I Need?

For a daily energy need of 20 kWh and an area with 5 peak sunlight hours per day: This calculation indicates a 4 kW solar panel system is required to meet your daily energy needs. Solar systems experience inefficiencies such as inverter losses, shading, and temperature impacts.

How many square feet does a 20-panel Solar System need?

A typical 20-panel system needs 340-400 square feet of unshaded roof area. Orientation: South-facing roofs provide maximum energy production Tilt: 30-45 degree angles optimize solar collection Shading: Minimal obstruction from trees, chimneys, or neighboring buildings Age: Roofs should have 10+ years of remaining life before panel installation
