How Much Solar Power Does Your Home Need? Global 2025 Guide
Key Factors Determining Solar Requirements
Three primary elements dictate your solar needs:
- Energy consumption: Average homes use 600-1,000 kWh monthly
- Sun exposure: Varies from 2.5 peak hours (UK) to 6+ (Australia)
- System efficiency: Quality mounting components prevent 15-20% energy loss
Solar Calculation Formula
System Size (kW) = (Monthly kWh ÷ 30) ÷ Peak Sun Hours ÷ 0.85
Example for 900 kWh/month with 4 sun hours: (900÷30)÷4÷0.85 = 8.8 kW system
Global Home Solar Requirements
Home Size | Daily Usage | System Size | 400W Panels |
---|---|---|---|
Small (1-3 people) | 15-25 kWh | 4-6 kW | 10-15 |
Medium (4 people) | 25-35 kWh | 6-10 kW | 15-25 |
Large (5+ people) | 35-50+ kWh | 10-15 kW | 25-38 |
