FAQS 4

How much power does a solar panel use?

Solar panel power ratings range from 250W to 450W. Based on solar.com sales data, 400W is the most popular power rating and provides a great balance of output and Price Per Watt (PPW). If you have limited roof space, you may consider a higher power rating to use fewer panels. If you want to spend less per panel, you may consider a lower wattage.

What is solar wattage?

Wattage refers to the amount of electrical power a solar panel can produce under standard test conditions (STC), which simulate a bright sunny day with optimal solar irradiance (1,000 W/m²), a cell temperature of 25°C, and clean panels. In simpler terms, a panel’s wattage rating tells you its maximum power output under ideal conditions.

How many kW solar panels do I Need?

As we calculated earlier, the California household needs a 7.2 kW system to cover its electricity needs. A comparable household in Massachusetts needs a 9.9 kW system. So, in less sunny areas like Massachusetts, you might consider choosing highly efficient solar panels to maximize your energy output per square foot.

How do I calculate how many solar panels I Need?

You can calculate how many solar panels you need by dividing your yearly electricity usage by your area's production ratio and then dividing that number by the power output of your solar panels. To put it simply: Number of panels = annual electricity usage / production ratio / panel wattage
