How many solar panels you need for your house?
Solar power December 15th, 2010When you decide to go for Solar Power System the first question that arises in our mind is that, how many solar cells would I need in order to provide all of the electricity that my house needs?
SolarGen is always there to answer all your questions.
To calculate how many solar panels you need for a house.
1. Then the answer is that how much Solar Power in your house is consumed in average.
2. Location is crucial in determining how many solar cells are necessary to power a house so you can calculate mean solar days, average rainfall, etc.. This can be calculated by knowing the actual location of the house.
In general we will assume that on an average day the solar panels generate their maximum power for 5 hours.
Normally in Australia a house can use either electricity or gas to provide heat — heat for the house, the hot water, the clothes dryer and the stove/oven. If you decide to power a house with solar electricity, you would certainly use gas appliances because solar electricity is so expensive.In that case you would be powering with solar electricity are things like the refrigerator, the lights, the computer, the TV, stereo equipment, motors in things like furnace fans and the washer, etc. Let’s assume that all of those things average out to 600 watts on average. Over the course of 24 hours, you need 600 watts * 24 hours = 14,400 watt-hours per day.
