How to Use the Solar Panel Calculator

  1. Enter Monthly Bill: Input your average monthly electricity bill amount. This is the most common starting point.
  2. Enter Cost per kWh: Find this on your utility bill. It's the price you pay for one kilowatt-hour of electricity. The national average in the U.S. is around $0.17, but it varies greatly.
  3. Enter Peak Sun Hours: This is the most critical variable. It is *not* the number of daylight hours. It represents the number of hours per day where the sun's intensity is at its peak (1,000 W/m²). You can find this data for your specific location on global solar radiation maps from sources like NREL.
  4. Calculate: The tool will estimate the required DC system size in kilowatts (kW) and the approximate number of standard 400W solar panels you would need.

Understanding Your Solar System Components

A solar energy system is more than just panels. This calculator estimates the core component size, but a full system includes:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What's the difference between an on-grid and off-grid system?

An on-grid (or grid-tied) system is connected to the public electricity grid. Excess power you generate can be sent back to the grid (often for credit, a process called net metering). An off-grid system is completely independent and requires a battery bank to store energy, as there is no connection to the utility grid for backup.

Will this system cover 100% of my needs?

This calculator aims for a 100% offset of your average usage. However, actual production varies based on weather, panel orientation, shading, and panel degradation over time. It's common to oversize a system slightly (by 10-25%) to account for these factors, especially if you plan to add an electric vehicle or more appliances in the future.
