Technical FAQs 4

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.

What are the different solar panel wattages?

Different solar panel wattages are designed to meet diverse energy needs. For instance, a 100W panel might be perfect for small devices or RVs, while a 400W panel is better suited for full solar power systems in residential homes. This variety allows consumers to customize their setup according to their power requirements and space availability.

What is solar panel output?

Solar panel output is the actual amount of electricity a panel produces in real-world conditions, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh) per day, month, or year. Output depends on sunlight, temperature, shading, orientation, and system design. Two panels with the same wattage can have very different energy output based on installation conditions.

How do I choose a solar lighting system?

When planning a solar lighting system for a city, park, or commercial property, several factors can help you optimize both wattage and lumens for energy-efficient performance: Solar Panel Sizing: The wattage of your light fixture will determine the size of the solar panel needed to power it.
