The formula to calculate the total solar panel area is:
Total Solar Panel Area (m²)=Average Daily Usage (kWh)×1000Average Sunlight Hours (h)×Solar Panel Efficiency×Solar Panel Power (W)
The formula to calculate the number of solar panels needed is:
Number of Solar Panels=Total Solar Panel Area (m²)Solar Panel Area (m²)
This calculator helps determine the total area and number of solar panels needed to power a house based on average daily electricity usage, average sunlight hours, solar panel efficiency, solar panel power, and solar panel area.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
Total Solar Panel Area=30×10005×0.18×300≈111.11 m²
Number of Solar Panels=111.111.6≈70
The total solar panel area needed is approximately 111.11 m², and the number of solar panels needed is approximately 70.
