When you wish to calculate the number of solar
panels required in your house, it is essential to
define your goals first. Do you wish to keep the
carbon footprint least and the return on
investment most? If yes, then it is important to
work out the exact number of solar panels
Brisbane.

For that you require the following things How
much is your energy demand? Usable surface area
of the roof The climate and amount of peak
sunlight The relative efficiency and wattage of
the PV panels Let us understand it.

How Many Solar Panels Are Required?
The formula of calculation is - multiply the
hourly energy requirement of the household by the
peak sunlight hours in the area. Now divide it by
the wattage of one panel. You need to establish a
range by considering the low wattage and high
wattage example.
5
How Many Watts You Are Using Currently?
For this, you need the electricity bill of
previous one year. How much is your average
usage? You should look at the KWH or Kilowatt
Hours Used. Is the billing period monthly? If
not, then you have to calculate the monthly
consumption in kilowatt. Once you get the monthly
consumption, it is easy to calculate the daily
average. This is the figure you should be
interested into.

Your target should be to produce electricity that
is equal to your daily average use. Once you
fulfill the 100 percent of your energy
requirement and still there is some surplus
energy then it can be fed to the grid. The excess
power generated by your solar system
Brisbane will be adjusted in the next bill. You
should always remember that solar panels do not
operate at the maximum productivity at all times.
Weather condition can temporarily reduce the
productivity.

How Many Hours Of Sunlight Do You Get?
It is an important factor. The peak sunlight
hours decide the productivity. The average hourly
wattage requirement of your house has to be
divided by the number of daily peak sunlight
hours. It gives you the amount of energy required
every hour.
8
How Much Efficient Are The Solar Panels?
Not all panels are alike. PV or
Photovoltaic solar panels come between 150 watts
and 370 watts per panel. Efficiency depends on
9
Size of the panel Cell technology So, to
figure out how many panels you need, you have to
do some calculations. The more accurately you do
it, the better are the results.
