Before purchasing solar panels, you must know your actual daily consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Our solar panel calculator allows you to input exact quantities, power ratings (Watts), and daily operating hours for fans, LED lights, air conditioners, and kitchen appliances.
Formula: (Watts × Qty × Hours) ÷ 1000 = kWh per day. Grouping appliances gives your total daily and monthly utility footprint.
System size in kW depends on average daily sun hours and efficiency losses. Average global locations receive between 4.0 to 6.0 peak sun hours per day. We assume a standard 5.0 peak sun hours with an 80% system efficiency factor.
Formula: Daily kWh ÷ (Peak Sun Hours × 0.8) = Solar kW Size. We automatically round up to align with whole numbers of modern 550W modules.
Inverters convert DC solar panel power to AC home power. We apply a 20% safety headroom above the system size. For energy storage, we calculate backup requirements during night-time or power outages based on your backup hours target.
Lithium batteries offer 85% depth of discharge, while Lead-Acid batteries are restricted to 50% and must align with series voltage connection multiples.
