Solar PV Sizing Calculator
Sizes a solar panel system from what the building actually uses in a day and how much sun the site gets. It gives the array size, the number of panels, the roof area they need and, if you want one, a battery bank.
- Required array power, in kilowatts peak.
- Number of panels and the roof area they take.
- An optional battery bank.
- Yearly generation.
- Follows: Energy balance from the entered load schedule, site solar resource and performance ratio.
- These are screening values, not a code-required capacity. Shading, roof orientation and the grid connection rules decide the final design.
