1. What Is The Solar Panel Calculator?

The Solar Panel Calculator estimates the number of solar panels needed for a home in Pakistan based on daily energy consumption, panel specifications, and local solar conditions. It helps homeowners plan their solar energy system efficiently.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the solar panel equation:

\[ N = \frac{E_{daily}}{P_{panel} \times I \times \eta} \]

Where:

\( N \) — Number of solar panels needed
\( E_{daily} \) — Daily energy consumption (kWh)
\( P_{panel} \) — Power rating per panel (kW)
\( I \) — Average daily solar insolation (hours/day)
\( \eta \) — System efficiency (%)

Explanation: The equation calculates how many panels are required to meet your daily energy needs based on panel capacity, available sunlight, and system efficiency.

3. Importance Of Solar Panel Calculation

Details: Accurate solar panel calculation is essential for designing an efficient solar power system, optimizing energy production, and ensuring the system meets household energy requirements while maximizing return on investment.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter daily energy consumption in kWh, panel power rating in kW, average daily solar hours, and system efficiency percentage. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is typical solar insolation in Pakistan?
A: Pakistan receives 5-7 hours of peak sunlight daily, varying by region and season.

Q2: What efficiency should I use for my system?
A: Typical system efficiency ranges from 75-85% accounting for inverter losses, temperature effects, and other factors.

Q3: How do I calculate my daily energy needs?
A: Sum the wattage of all appliances multiplied by hours of daily use, then convert to kWh.

Q4: Should I consider panel degradation?
A: Yes, solar panels typically degrade 0.5-1% annually. Consider future energy needs when sizing your system.

Q5: Are there government incentives for solar in Pakistan?
A: Yes, various federal and provincial incentives exist, including net metering and tax benefits.
