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
