Technical FAQs 4

How much solar power can a roof generate?

The amount of solar power your roof can generate depends on various factors, such as your location, roof size and orientation, solar panel efficiency, shading, climate, and the size of the solar system. But our experts can help you find a solution to meet your energy needs.

How many 400 watt solar panels on a 1000 sq ft roof?

A typical 400-watt solar panel is 79.1 inches long and 39.1 inches wide, taking up 21.53 sq ft of area. If you have a 1000 sq ft roof and you can use 75% of that roof area for solar panels, you can theoretically put 34 400-watt solar panels on a 1000 sq ft roof.

How much power does a solar panel produce a day?

Most residential solar panels have a power output of around 250-400 watts, and can produce up to 2.5 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day. Why don’t those numbers add up? Because a solar panel only produces energy when the sun is out, so we can’t multiply 400 by 24 to determine its daily output.

How many solar panels can fit on a roof?

To determine how many solar panels can fit on your roof, you'll first need to know the size of a solar panel. There's no standardized chart for this, but as an example, a 5kW solar system consists of 50 100-watt solar panels.
