Technical FAQs 4

How many watts is a solar panel?

Today, most home solar panels are rated between 300 watts and 450 watts. To fully illustrate how solar panel dimensions vary by installation, the chart below shows the estimated square footage of small, average, and large home PV systems with two different panel wattages considered.

What are the dimensions of standard solar panels?

Most solar panels are about 1.5 inches thick. The typical classification of solar panel sizes is based on the solar cell size, but it's not very useful for most calculations.

Why is solar panel size important?

Solar panel size is the key metric of every installation. A standard solar panel size (physical dimensions) of a panel determines how many solar cells it contains, which in turn affects how much power it can produce. Large commercial solar modules pack more cells, so they outrun smaller portable models on any solar panel size chart.

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.
