Solar Panel Setup
Former Community Member
I would like to ask a question in our areas there is huge issue of electricity so I wanna create a Solar panel Setup. In my house there are 2 Split Invertor AC, one Full sized refrigerator, 2 TV, 5 Laptop, washing machine, pump, so i need to know that how much KV I need that I can run all my things on SOLAR?
To add to my previous post, the panels themselves will be rated in kWp - kilowatts peak. That's the power you get on a sunny day, when the sun is shining straight onto the panels, but only if it's not too hot.
Bear in mind what mapj has said. Don't assume that 4 kWp of panels will give you 4 kW of power all day. It will be a lot less than that, and will only peak at one point in the day when the sun is in the right place in the sky. Clouds make a big difference. Even light clouds can drop the generated power to 1/10 of the nominal value.
