How much does a solar installation weigh?

All things considered, the easiest way to estimate a solar installation’s weight is by first calculating its approximate square footage. In the table below, we assume a total installation weight of 3 lbs per square foot across various system sizes, each using 400 W solar panels.

How much wattage does a solar panel take?

Solar panel sizes and wattage range from 250W to 450W, taking up 1.6 to 2 square metres per panel. One of the most important things to consider when getting solar panels for your home is the specific solar panel size and dimensions.

How much does a rooftop solar system weigh?

Using the average solar panel size of 6 feet by 3.25 feet, and assuming you leave minimal space between the panels, your rooftop solar system would measure roughly 4,875 square feet. Now, let’s consider the weight of that system. At 50 pounds per panel, the array would weigh in at 12,500 pounds or a little over 2.5 pounds per square foot.
