A lot will depend on two factors, outlay money and your energy usage. The cost of Solar Panels has come down dramatically over the last 10 years so looking for an affordable package is quite easy compared to the early days of the feed in tariff which saw 4kw been sold for £18,995. We now do 4kw Solar pv systems for under £4,995 as a installed and commissioned system with options to upgrade with electricity battery storage.
Electricity consumption, the following figures apply: Low consumption is estimated as being between 1,800kWh and 2,400kWh. Medium consumption at 2,900kWh to 4,200kWh. High consumption is between 4,300kWh and 7,100kWh per year. We will need to check your bills if you don’t know and work out the best system for your needs.
Mr Solar We will provide a detailed proposal taking into account all the areas where we can see to reduce your energy consummation and reduce your bills.
The number of solar panels you need will depend on a number of factors, including:
- Your annual electricity usage
- The size of your roof
- The orientation of your roof
- The amount of sunlight your roof receives
- The efficiency of the solar panels you choose
A solar panel’s wattage rating tells you how much electricity it can generate under ideal conditions. To calculate how many solar panels you need, you can divide your annual electricity usage by the wattage rating of the solar panels you are considering.
For example, if your annual electricity usage is 10,000 kWh and you are considering solar panels with a wattage rating of 300 watts, you would need about 33 solar panels.
However, it is important to note that ideal conditions are rarely met. The amount of sunlight your roof receives will vary depending on your location, the time of year, and the weather. You may need more solar panels than the calculation above suggests to generate enough electricity to meet your needs.
It is also important to consider the efficiency of the solar panels you choose. More efficient solar panels will generate more electricity per watt, so you may need fewer of them.
If you are serious about installing solar panels, I recommend getting a quote from Mr solar. They can help you assess your needs and recommend the right number of solar panels for your home.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind when calculating how many solar panels you need:
- You may need more solar panels if you want to generate enough electricity to power your entire home.
- You may need fewer solar panels if you are willing to export excess electricity back to the grid.
- You may need to adjust your calculations if you live in a cloudy or shady area.
