Determining the size of the solar system depends on several factors:
1. Monthly Electricity Consumption: First, determine how much energy you typically use on a month to month basis. Pull over your electricity bills of the last six-month to check out the regular energy consumption per month or in a year. One KW of solar plant will produce 1440 units in a year. If, for example, you consume 15,000 kWh annually, that would be your system’s size you must divide it by units generated per kW. An example could be: Your annual input is 7200 units. Therefore, to take care of your residential needs, you’ll be looking at a 5kW solar system.(7200/1440=5).
2. Shadow-free rooftop area: The necessary area is 100 square feet of the shadow-free rooftop for the solar system situated on one kilowatt. This make you to need 500 sqft area in the shadow-free rooftop for the installation of the 5kW of the solar system.
3. Sanctioned load: The capacity which is permitted to be consumed however has surpassed its limit, will incur extra charges from the electricity board body. This is actually an essential factor to check while one is installing solar panel systems because they should be efficient enough to supply the customer with enough energy without going over the maximum load limit and so they don’t incur expenses that they don’t have to.
4. Incentives: For may places, certain tax credits and incentives may be available. Varying according to location, these could compensate for the installation of solar panels. The rebate together with other incentives can bring down the overall cost of the solar system at the initial stage greatly, thus increasing its affordability. Besides, certain zones provide some grants and give borrowing with lower interest to aid the installation of solar panels.
