Solar Panel Requirement Calculator
Calculate how many solar panels you need based on daily energy usage.
Assumptions used in this calculation
- System efficiency: Assumes 80% overall system efficiency, accounting for inverter losses, wiring, and temperature derating.
About this calculator
Calculates the number of solar panels needed to meet daily energy consumption, based on peak sun hours and panel wattage, with a system efficiency allowance.
Worked example
10 kWh/day, 5 peak sun hours, 350W panels
Result: 8 panels needed
