If you've been interested in solar energy, you've probably wondered "How many solar panels would be needed to power my house?"
The answer depends on many factors.
Solar energy system calculations cannot be averaged. Even if your and your neighbor's houses are the exact same size, the number of solar panels to power them with energy may be completely different. Let me give a better understanding and explanation of why this question is difficult to answer:


1) Calculate your household electricity consumption
To start calculating how many solar panels are needed to power your house with solar electrical energy, you need to know your home's annual electricity consumption.
Generally, your electricity consumption is directly related to the solar panels to install. Therefore, even if two houses are the exact same m2 size, energy consumption is different, and a 5-person household with 100,000 tugriks monthly electricity cost requires far more solar panels than a 3-person household with 300,000 tugriks monthly electricity cost.


2) Location, environment, sunlight are important in calculations
Also, to calculate the solar panels you need, we calculate the average solar radiation your home receives. The average number of sunny hours your roof receives per day depends on your location, roof direction, roof structure, and the season. If you live in a sunny area, your roof receives enough sun daily, so according to calculations, fewer solar panels are sufficient to power your home with solar energy. So if you live in a cloudy climate, you'll need more solar panels to produce the same amount of solar energy.


3) Create a project design after calculations
After a detailed understanding of your electrical energy consumption and solar hours, we create a solar energy system project design that meets your needs.
Of course, there are some limitations that may affect solar energy system design.
These include:

  • Roof space: If the proposed solar panels don't fit on the roof, they can be installed on the ground.
  • Electrical limitations: If the house's own electricity is old, you may need to upgrade electrical cables and panels.
