Calculate Solar Panel
Costs for Your Home
Follow these steps to discover how many solar panels you need and estimate your costs:
Determine your average monthly electricity usage
Examine previous utility bills to establish your home's usual energy usage. You can figure out how many solar panels you'll need by calculating your household's hourly energy demand by your area's peak sunlight hours and dividing by the wattage of each panel. To demonstrate a range, use a low-wattage (150 W) and a high-wattage (370 W) example (ex: 17-42 panels to create 11,000 kWh/year). Keep in mind that the size of your roof and the amount of sunshine it receives are both important considerations.
Calculate your daily kWh usage
The price of power delivered by your electric provider is expressed in kilowatt-hours. You can divide your total power bill, minus any taxes, by your total power consumption to get your kilowatt-hour rate. Once you have that amount, you may use the formula below to determine how much you pay for electricity.
Calculate how much sunlight your panels will receive
Although your panels receive an average of 7 hours of daylight every day, peak solar hours are usually around 4 or 5. When the sun reaches its highest point in the sky at solar noon, solar radiation peaks.
