How many solar panels are needed?

The average household uses between six and fourteen 455W solar panels and up to around twenty-three panels for bigger homes. But, it depends on the space you have available, your electricity usage and the parameters of your inverter.

How to calculate solar system size?

Find your average monthly usage in kW, divide that by 30 (days in the month) then divide that number by 5.5 (average peak sun hours per day in South Africa). This will give you the size of the array that you’ll need. Then you take your array size and divide that by the watt rating of a panel like a 455W panel to find out how many solar panels you’ll need.

Example:

  • 900kWh average monthly usage / 30 days = 30kWh daily usage
  • 30kWh / 5.5 average maximum production hours = 5454.54kWh array size needed
  • 5454.54kWh / 455W solar panel rating = 11.988 solar panels needed so round it up to 12.
