Technical FAQs 4

What is the difference between solar energy generation and installed solar capacity?

The difference lies in the units used to measure them. Solar energy generation is measured in gigawatt-hours (GWh), while installed solar capacity is measured in gigawatts (GW).

How much energy can a solar energy system produce?

After 25 years, solar panels with a 0.5% degradation rate could be expected to generate approximately 85% of their initial energy production capacity. There are many ways to calculate how much electricity can be produced by a solar energy system on your roof, including a home assessment from a certified professional.

Do solar panels produce a lot of electricity?

Although solar panels can produce significant amounts of electricity at a wide range of temperatures, extreme heat and cold can limit your system’s efficiency. In the same sense, limited sunlight on cloudy days can lower your system’s electricity production potential.

How much power do solar panels produce?

About 97% of solar panels quoted on the EnergySage Marketplace in 2025 are 400 to 460 watts—expect to see panel outputs in this range in your quotes. Your panels' actual output will depend on your roof's shading, orientation, and hours of sun exposure. The efficiency and size of your solar panels drive their power output.
