Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate how many solar panels I need?
The number of solar panels you need depends on your annual energy usage, the efficiency of the solar panels you want to use, the amount of daylight you get, and the area of your roof.
Just use the solar calculator or speak to one of our solar installation experts instead; it’s far easier!
How much electricity do you get from one solar panel?
The amount of electricity you get from a solar panel depends on a number of factors, including the efficiency of the panel, the amount of daylight it receives, and the temperature. In general, a typical solar panel can produce between 250 and 400 watts of electricity per hour in full daylight. This means that a single solar panel could generate between 0.5 and 0.8 kWh of electricity per day.
How many solar panels are needed for 1 kW?
Three panels should be enough to generate this amount of electricity.
How much power does a 4 kW solar system produce per day?
Taking the various factors mentioned above into consideration, a 4 kW system would typically produce between 16 and 24 kWh of electricity per day in optimal conditions (based on between 6 and 10 hours of daylight ).
