On Grid Solar PV System Calculator
Determine the size of the solar panel array and on-grid system you will need.
Step 1:
How many kilowatt-hours (kWh) does your home/location use per month? kilowatt-hours per month
(This value is usually printed on your electric bill. Entering your annual average gives even more useful results.)
What portion of your electricity usage (your "load") do you want to produce with a solar electric system?
Desired percentage of total loads offset by solarStep 2:
You need to determine the average number of sun hrs per day.
Manually enter the average sun-hours for your location. hours
Step 3:
The total wattage of Solar Panels that you need is:
Watts, or kilowattsThis value takes into account losses due to system inefficiencies.
Step 4:
How many solar panels do you need? That depends on the panel you choose.
Select the wattage of the panel your interested in, and see the results below:
watts per panelResults
You will need panels for a total of watts.
You will need a On-Grid inverter that can handle watts
