Technical FAQs 4

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.

How do I choose the right solar panel size?

The solar panel size directly affects how much power your system can produce, how many panels you need, and whether your available roof space can support the installation. Choosing the proper system is not only about the solar panel dimensions. You should also consider wattage, number of cells, layout possibilities, and energy consumption.

What are the dimensions of a 96-cell solar panel?

96-cell solar panel size. The dimensions of 96-cell solar panels are 41.5 inches long and 63 inches wide. That's a 41.5×63 solar panel.

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.
