Solar Power Equation:
From: | To: |
The Solar Power kWh Calculator estimates energy production from solar panels based on system size, hours of sunlight, and system efficiency. It helps determine potential electricity generation for solar installations in Pakistan.
The calculator uses the solar power equation:
Where:
Explanation: The equation calculates daily energy production by multiplying system capacity by available sunlight hours and accounting for system losses through the efficiency factor.
Details: Accurate energy production estimation is crucial for sizing solar systems, calculating return on investment, and determining energy savings for residential and commercial solar installations in Pakistan.
Tips: Enter system size in kW, daily sunlight hours, and system efficiency (typically 0.75-0.85). All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is a typical system efficiency value?
A: Most grid-tied solar systems have efficiencies between 75-85% due to inverter losses, temperature effects, and other factors.
Q2: How many sunlight hours can I expect in Pakistan?
A: Pakistan typically receives 5-7 peak sunlight hours per day, varying by season and region.
Q3: What system size is suitable for a typical home?
A: Most residential systems range from 3-10 kW depending on energy consumption and available roof space.
Q4: Does this calculator account for seasonal variations?
A: No, this provides daily estimates. For annual calculations, use average daily sunlight hours for your location.
Q5: Are there government incentives for solar in Pakistan?
A: Yes, Pakistan offers various incentives including net metering and tax benefits for solar installations.
