How Many Solar Panels Are Needed?

Solar panels of capacity ranging between 75W to 100W can charge small gadgets efficiently. But when it comes to powering the entire load of the house, you need to pair them up.

Pairing several solar panels along with the battery, inverter, solar charge controller and a few other solar gadgets is necessary to meet the energy requirements of an average home. This pairing is said to be a solar system. 

Calculating the number of solar panels needed

To know how many solar panels you need in your solar system you need to know the energy requirements of your home. And then, follow the steps mentioned below-

  • Find the power your home consumes in a month
  • Divide it by 120
  • The answer is a kilowatt of solar panels required
  • Divide the answer by the capacity of the solar panel you wish to install
  • The answer is the number of solar panels required

For example, the number of different capacity solar panels required for a house that consumes 240kWh is tabulated below.

#4. Subsidy on Solar Panels

Solar panels are eco-friendly gadgets that harness power from the ultimate source of energy, that is, the sun. As a result, it saves the other non-renewable resources of energy by working as a great alternative.

The government of India is promoting the initiative of spreading awareness about the panels and aiding the customers financially so that more and more households can switch to solar power.

Hence, solar panels can be availed of with government subsidies at affordable prices. The subsidy schemes are as follows.

  • For a solar system with up to 3kW capacity– 40% subsidy
  • For a solar system with capacity ranging between 3kW and 10kW- 20% subsidy
  • For a solar system with more than 10kW capacity- no subsidy
