How Many Solar Panels Do I Need?

DETERMINE HOW MANY PANELS YOU NEED

#1 How Much Electricity Does Your Home Use?First of all, you’ll need to know how much electricity your home uses. This is a big factor in determining how many solar panels you’ll need. The more solar panels, the more electricity they will be able to capture for your home use. You can determine this by looking through your past utility bills and finding your home’s hourly energy needs.If you need help with these calculations, be sure to set up an appointment with a Solar Specialist at Sunpro.Find the ‘kilowatt hours used’ number and get an estimate by dividing the number of days or hours within that time period. For example, if it shows a 30 day time period, divide it by 30 to get the daily usage and then by 24 to get your hourly kilowatt hour (kWh) usage.For reference, in 2019 the average homeowner consumed about 877 kWh A MONTH This is around 30 kWh per day and 1.2 kWh per hour.#2 How Much Sunshine Does Your Home Get?Now find how much sunshine your home at peak hours gets with this handy tool from Google called Project Sunroof.To understand an estimate of how many watts per hour your home will need to produce each hour using solar panels, multiply your hourly usage by 1,000. For a standard home, it’s about 1,250 watts per hour.

This is around 30 kWh per day and 1.2 kWh per hour. #2 How Much Sunshine Does Your Home Get?

For a standard home, it’s about 1,250 watts per hour. #3 What Are Your Home Energy Goals? Another factor determining how many solar panels your home needs is what your home energy goals are. For example, if your goal is to completely cover your home energy use with solar energy, you’ll need more solar panels as well as battery storage to hold the excess power for the night. If you’re looking to cover only a partial amount of your home energy use, you’ll be able to have a smaller system installed. #4 Determining the Quality of Your Solar Panels The other major factor in how many solar panels you’ll need has to do with the type of solar panels you choose. The quality of a solar panel, the materials used and the brand makes a huge difference on how much energy your panels produce. How much energy do solar panels produce? Let’s go over that next.

HOW MUCH ENERGY CAN YOU EXPECT?

You can find out how much energy you can expect your solar panels to produce by knowing about their efficiency. This is a measurement of what percentage of sunlight your panels can turn into energy. Most solar panels are between 14% and 20% efficient. For maximum savings on your home energy costs, it’s best to go with solar panels that have 20% efficiency and above. Each percentage makes a large difference in how much more energy your panels will likely produce.Read more: Why Does Solar Panel Efficiency Matter?The efficiency of the solar panels have a lot to do with how many solar panels you’ll need. To find this out, multiply the peak hours of daylight your home gets by the hourly average wattage your home gets. Next divide that number by the wattage on the solar panels to find an estimate of how many solar panels you’ll need.For example, the latest LG panels are 355W and for an average home, you’ll need around 17 panels versus panels that are 250W in which you’ll need around 25 panels.Another caveat: one reason it’s good to talk to a Solar Specialist is because this varies widely especially if you’re considering a battery in which you’ll be able to store excess energy for later use, like when the sun is not shining.

DECREASED COS: Solar has also dropped in price over the last decade, and according to SEIA, by more than 70% over the last decade, leading the industry to expand into new markets and deploy thousands of systems nationwide SUSTAINTABILITY: One of the major reasons for the massive growth of solar in the last decade is over concern for our planet’s resources. Fossil fuel energy is running out and the climate is getting worse. Government environmental policies have adopted a 100% clean renewable energy by 2035 in which solar energy is a large part..
