Solar panel output estimator

Estimate daily and monthly solar energy from array size and peak sun hours.

Loading the interactive tool…

How it works

Estimates energy from array nameplate power × peak sun hours × remaining system efficiency. Weather, shade, orientation, inverter and location cause substantial variation.

Example

A 4 kW array at 5 peak sun hours and 20% losses estimates 16 kWh/day.
