How Much Solar Panels Do I Need? Calculator
As in most cases, this involves a few factors. In general, consider your average monthly energy consumption and the amount of energy you are planning to offset with solar energy.
Factors to consider:
- Number of KiloWatt-Hours (kWh) used per month
- Percentage of Power to be offset with Solar
- Hours of Daily Sun
To Estimate Energy Consumption and Offset Percentages…
1) Collect and calculate average monthly energy usage in kWh over the last 12 months
2) Divide the average by 30 for an – average daily kWh usage
3) To calculate the amount of power necessary to offset a % of energy consumption – multiply the daily average by the estimated % you plan to offset. This is the amount of energy you will roughly require from solar panels.
Solar Cable Challenges
As the emerging solar power cabling market grows, application-specific cables and contractor certification are paramount to ensuring the economic viability of solar power systems. Codes and standards are struggling to keep pace, while a relatively new contractor base is in need of continuous on-going training to stay one step ahead of evolving installation practices.
