Enter the monthly average from a 12 months electrical bill.

kilowatt-hours per month

Portion of the total electricity desired to be solar:

Percentage of total electrical load by solar.

Step 2:

Average sun hours a day for the location.

Select the city closest to the location

or manually enter the average sun-hours for your location based on the sun hours chart.

Step 3:

Based on your information, the total wattage required from solar energy is:

Watts, or kilowatts

(Loses due to system inefficiencies, usually 30%, is already included in this value)

Step 4:

Solar panel selection:

watts per solar panel.

Conclusion:

You will need panels for a total of watts and sq.ft. area available.

You will need Micro-Inverters. OR You will need a On-Grid inverter this size: watts
