How Many Solar Panels Do I Need?
The number of solar panels needed for your solar PV system in Ireland depends on the size of your home, your energy consumption and available roof space. Each solar panel typically generates an output of anywhere from 250w to 450w.
Examples
For example, a three-bedroom home with a 4 kW solar PV system usually has between 10 and 14 solar panels. But if you have a much bigger house with five or more bedrooms, you'll likely need a larger solar PV system which could have 20+ solar panels. Smaller houses with 1 to 2 bedrooms may find a smaller 3 kW system with 6 to 10 solar panels to be suitable.
