How many solar panels do you need to power a house?

The goal for any solar project should be 100% electricity offset and maximum savings — not necessarily to cram as many panels on a roof as possible. So, the number of panels you need to power a house varies based on three main factors: In this article, we’ll show you how to manually calculate how many panels you’ll need to power your home.

How many solar panels does a home use a year?

12,000 / 1.6 / 0.4 = 18.75 panels (round up to 19) While energy usage varies significantly between households, home size provides a useful starting point for estimation: Smaller homes typically use 6,000-9,000 kWh annually.

How much power does a solar panel use?

Solar panel power ratings range from 250W to 450W. Based on solar.com sales data, 400W is the most popular power rating and provides a great balance of output and Price Per Watt (PPW). If you have limited roof space, you may consider a higher power rating to use fewer panels. If you want to spend less per panel, you may consider a lower wattage.

How do I calculate how many solar panels I Need?

You can calculate how many solar panels you need by dividing your yearly electricity usage by your area's production ratio and then dividing that number by the power output of your solar panels. To put it simply: Number of panels = annual electricity usage / production ratio / panel wattage
