Technical FAQs 4

How to calculate solar panel area?

Even a small shadow can reduce your solar panel’s efficiency by blocking sunlight and lowering energy output. To get the best performance, keep panels clear of any obstructions. The formula for calculation for solar panel area involves several steps. Here is a step-by-step guide: If you use 900 kWh/month, your daily need = 30 kWh (900 ÷ 30).

How much surface area do solar panels need?

The required surface area depends on the number of panels, their wattage, and physical dimensions. Roof orientation, shading, and available space also play significant roles. How do I assess my roof’s suitability for solar panels?

Where should solar panels be placed?

Avoid Obstructions: Place panels in areas with the least shading and best sun exposure. Group Panels Effectively: Keep panels grouped together to minimize wiring costs and losses. Ideal Placement: Group panels on the south-facing roof section, away from any potential shading sources like trees or neighboring buildings.

How big is a solar panel?

This calculation considers factors like solar panels area, their number, orientation, and shading in the location. As a point of reference, a typical area of solar panel today is approximately 65 inches by 39 inches, or 5.4 feet by 3.25 feet, with some variation among manufacturers.
