Solar Rooftop Calculator
Estimate the size of your solar rooftop system based on your energy consumption and location.
How to Use the Solar Rooftop Calculator
To use the solar rooftop calculator:
- Enter your monthly energy consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
- Select your country from the dropdown menu.
- Enter the wattage of the solar panel you plan to use (default is 300W).
- Click on "Calculate Solar Rooftop Size" to find out the area required for your solar panels.
How the Solar Rooftop Calculator Works
The Solar Rooftop Calculator uses your monthly energy consumption and average solar panel output to estimate the area needed for your solar panels. It calculates the required rooftop size based on average sunlight hours specific to your country.
Example of Using the Solar Rooftop Calculator
Input:
- Monthly Energy Consumption: 900 kWh
- Country: USA
- Solar Panel Wattage: 300 W
Output:
Solar Rooftop Size Needed: 25 square meters (calculated based on average sunlight hours and panel output)
What is a Solar Rooftop Calculator?
A solar rooftop calculator is a tool designed to help you estimate the area required for solar panels to meet your energy needs based on your energy consumption and the efficiency of the panels.
Solar Rooftop Calculator Formula
The formula to calculate the size of the solar rooftop required is:
Rooftop Size Needed (m²) = Monthly Energy Consumption (kWh) / (Average Sunlight Hours (hours/day) × Solar Panel Output (kW) × 30)
