How much roof space will I need for a solar array?

The space required for a solar array is influenced by various factors, including:

Roof Slope & Design  

Unfortunately, not every square foot of your roof is usable space for a solar installation. The slope of your roof can make it impossible to install solar panels in certain areas, as can design elements like a chimney or skylight. Ideally, you’ll want a large plane of empty roof space.

Shading  

The amount of sunlight your solar panels receive will determine how much power they can produce. Solar panel output will be reduced if they receive shade. To compensate for the decreased output, you’ll need more solar panels to produce the same amount of electricity as you would in direct sunlight.

Obstacles like trees and surrounding buildings can cast shade on your solar panels. While you can’t knock down buildings to get better sunlight access, you may be able to trim trees or branches to reduce shade. We can help you determine whether tree removal will improve your solar viability.

Roof Direction  

The direction your roof faces also impacts its solar viability. South-facing roofs are best for solar panels, but we can get creative with your solar design to maximize production no matter what direction your roof faces.

So, when you consider installing a solar array on your roof, please consider experts from Jakson Solar to harness the maximum solar potential.

For instance, each square foot of roof area has the capacity to produce approximately 15 watts of solar energy. Consequently, a modest residence may only necessitate around 200 square feet of roof space for a solar panel installation, whereas a larger home could require over 1,000 square feet to effectively counterbalance electricity consumption

An on-grid system indicates your solar setup is linked to your utility company’s network. It is more prevalent because users receive coverage from their utility company even if their solar systems underperform or experience malfunctions. Additionally, in cases where users generate surplus energy, it can be fed back into the grid, earning the user credits. These credits can be utilized or cashed out after the billing cycle, subject to state net metering policies. This reciprocal process is commonly known as net metering.

On the other hand, an off-grid solar power system is not connected to the utility grid and uses an additional battery system. Usually, an off-grid system is designed to generate some excess electricity during the day, which is transferred to the battery systems for storage. The energy stored in the batteries can then be used at night or when it is cloudy. The users can opt for off-grid solar power systems per their energy goals. Based on the energy estimates, solar systems can be sized to generate enough energy to meet the user’s energy requirements around the clock. The essential advantage of using off-grid solar panels is that the user is not dependent on grid energy, which means a power failure or an outage would not affect the user in any way.

The amount you can save on your electricity bills each month by using solar energy depends on various factors, including:

System Size: The larger the solar power system, the more energy it can generate, potentially covering a higher percentage of your electricity needs.

Sunlight and Location: The amount of sun your location receives directly affects the efficiency of your solar panels. Regions with more sunlight generally result in higher energy yields.

Energy Consumption: Your current energy consumption is a critical factor. Higher usage may require a larger solar system to offset your needs and achieve significant savings.

Local Utility Rates: The rates you pay for electricity from your utility company impact your potential savings. Higher rates often mean more substantial savings through self-generated power.

Incentives and Rebates: Government incentives, tax credits, and rebates can substantially reduce the upfront costs of installing solar panels, contributing to overall savings.

Net Metering Policies: Favourable net metering policies in your area enable you to earn credits for the excess energy your solar system produces, potentially leading to additional savings.

System Efficiency and Maintenance: The efficiency of your solar panels and how well you maintain the system over time can directly influence its performance and, consequently, impact your overall savings.

Let us understand this with an instance. In standard Indian scenarios, a 1 kW solar system is anticipated to produce around 4 units of electricity daily on an annual average, totalling 120 units monthly.

For residential consumers, electricity rates can vary from 4 to 9 rupees per unit. Assuming it to be 8 rupees per unit, the calculated value of 120 units is (120*8) = Rs. 960.

Consequently, the installation of a 1 kW solar system is projected to result in monthly savings of Rs. 960.

The “solar panel payback period” refers to the duration it takes to fully recover the cost of your solar power system through the savings achieved on your electricity expenses. The calculation involves subtracting solar incentives and rebates, along with monthly savings on your electric bill, from the total installation cost until the entire expense has been covered. Generally speaking, the returns on the solar investment depends on the factor like:

• Total system cost
• Solar incentives & rebates
• Energy production from your solar system
• Cost of electricity and the rate of increase in that cost

Typically, with the combined savings on electricity bills and potential government incentives, many homeowners see a return on their solar investment within 3 to 7 years. The exact time frame depends on your installation’s specifics and local electricity rates.

Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. They consist of solar cells that absorb sunlight and generate an electric field, resulting in the flow of electricity. 

More light hitting a solar cell increases the electricity produced, as higher light intensity leads to more electrons being excited, resulting in a stronger electric current. 

Solar power is abundant, renewable, and clean, making it an eco-friendly energy source that reduces reliance on fossil fuels and contributes to a sustainable energy future.

Solar power aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and Goal 13 (Climate Action), by providing clean and accessible energy while combating climate change.

Sunlight hits the solar PV panels, creating an electric field. This generated electricity flows through wires to an inverter, where it is converted from DC to AC. The AC electricity powers buildings, and excess energy can be fed back to the grid.
