How To Choose The Right Size of a Grid-Tied Solar System For Any Home

Grid-tied solar system

The first step is to check your electricity bills to find out how many kilowatt-hours (kWh) you consume a month. Add that up to get an approximate average monthly consumption. But don’t worry, it’s not as complicated as it sounds; just a little guidance to the rescue. Below are a few tips on choosing the right size of a grid-tied solar system.

  1. Consider sunlight in your area
  2. Factor in future needs
  3. Seek expert opinion

Consider sunlight in your area

 

During the day time, the more sunlight that hits solar panels; the more energy your home solar panels will produce. Of course, if you live in a sunny area, you’ll need fewer panels to generate the same amount of energy than in a cloudy one. The size of Solar Power Panels For Home also depends on the available space on your roof. Bigger systems with more panels take up more room, so you need to consider how much area you can dedicate to solar panels.

 

Factor in future needs

Most planners plan to acquire an electric vehicle or expand their home. In such a case, upgrading your system to cover any increase in energy usage will be wise. Adding an additional Home Solar System later in life can be done, but it is pricey.

Seek expert opinion
