Solar energy is easily harvestable. It is readily available and can be used for homes, offices, and even commercial buildings. As more people become aware of the advantages of solar panels over traditional energy sources, they’re taking the necessary steps to install solar panels in their homes. However, most people don’t know how many solar panels they’ll need and who to turn to for answers.
Unlike other home appliances, where you go to the store and buy a product that looks best, buying a solar panel requires some thought. Solar panels can easily last up to 25 years, and therefore it is necessary to buy a solar panel that will suit your needs perfectly.
According to GEDA (Gujarat Energy Development Agency), estimation of your solar needs should be done based on several factors.
Your monthly electricity consumption is the most important factor when doing these calculations. Instead of going through your latest bill, see the bills for the past 1-2 years to find an average. Most households use more electricity in the summer months, and therefore, you should consider these changes before making an estimation.
Rooftop solar panels in Gujarat are the most popular type because they don’t use extra space near the home. However, even on your rooftop, some of the space will be blocked by pillars, water storage units, or other storage rooms. Therefore calculating the available area on your rooftop is a must.
GEDA, Gujarat recommends measuring a square or rectangular space available for installations since this is the shape most solar panels are available in.
