How to Calculate your Solar system requirement?

Learn to calculate the right size of the rooftop solar system for your home.

Two important factors which will play a role in this calculation are:

1. Your Annual Electricity Consumption

2. Shadow-free area on your roof

Once you know these 02 things. Follow these steps to calculate the system requirement for your house.

Step 1: Check your annual unit consumption on the electricity bill.

Step 2: Choose how much electricity bill you want to reduce based on the area of your rooftop.

Step 3: Calculate the system requirement to reduce your electricity by up to 100%

Let me walk you through an example: If you consume 12000 units per year.

And you want to reduce your bill up to 100%.

Divide 12000 by 365

12000/365 = 32 units per day (approximately).

1. Zero Bill (100% electricity bill)

To get a zero bill, you need to produce 32 units per day through solar.

4 units/day is produced by 1kWP plant.

To produce 32units/day, you need a 8kWP plant.

You will need a 8kWP plant and 800 sq. feet area to reduce your bill by 100%.

2. 50% electricity bill

To reduce your bill by 50%, you need to produce 16 units per day through solar.

4 units/day is produced by a 1kWP plant.

To produce 16units/day, you need a 4kWP plant.

You will need a 4kWP plant and 400 sq. feet area to reduce your bill by 50%.

3. 25% electricity bill

To reduce your bill by 25%, you need to produce 16 units per day through solar.

4 units/day is produced by a 1kWP plant.

To produce 8units/day, you need a 2kWP plant.

You will need a 2kWP plant and 200 sq. feet area to reduce your bill by 25%.

As you can see in the above example, you can save up to 100% on your electricity bills with a solar rooftop system. Now, you can calculate your own system requirement based on the area of your rooftop and desired savings.
